The amount and level of training will depend upon what your responcibilities and duties are. "The Food Hygiene Regulations require all food handlers to be supervised and instructed and/ or trained in food hygiene matters. If you undertook a course of training in the past such as 'The Basic Hygiene Certificate' you will find that it is now out of date and you will need to up date your skills. Briefly the history of the Food Hygiene Certificate courses was as follows. 'The Basic Food Hygiene Certificate' finished some years ago and was replaced by The 'Foundation Course in food hygiene' This course and certificate which is still valid up to three years from the date of issue is now being replaced by a new qualification:- 'Level 2 Award in Food Safety' 0f which there are three sector specific versions covering the Retail, Catering and Manufacturing. There awards also have validity of three years from date of issue. The main reasons for these changes are that the Council of European Union now have powers over all food legislation and all member states must either adopt or change their existing laws to come into line with the EU's position which is to provide a universal approach to Food Safety throughout the Union. In particular the manner of the approach has been to apply a generic Safety system to all sectors of the Food industry and the aim being to ensure food safety from farm to plate. The elected proceedure is one based on the formal HACCP (Hazard Analysis Crtiical Control Point) where every food business is required to have a written system in place before commencing or reopeniong a business or continuing to run a food business. Everybody working in the food industry is affected by this new legislation which came into effect on the 1st January 2006. People who are not food handlers but whose work takes them in to areas where their presence could affect the food, such as Waiting staff, Bar Staff, Retail Operatives, Nursing Staff and Carers in Care Homes, and other associated personnel such as Maintainence, Cleaners, and even Gardeners if they frequently enter the main food business building will all require a degree of training in Food Hygiene and for this purpose a New qualification 'Level one Award in Food Safety' is now required and replaces the original ' Food Hygiene Awareness' training provided to new employees in the past. Businesses that have been using Videos and DVDs for this purpose are now required to provide this new training in order that it will meet the much stricter guidelines set by the enforcement agencies. The new Level 2 Award is suitable for someone wishing to operate a small Catering outlet such as a snack bar or Van, whereas the Level 1 on its own would not meet the Authorities requirements. Larger firms can provide the training 'In House' and may engage suitabily qualified trainers for the purpose. Small to medium firms can obtain the requisite training for themselves and their staff by engaging the services of specialist training providers. If you are going to start up a Food business you are still required to give 28 days notice to your local Environmental Health department, who usually reside at the local council offices. Under the latest regulations you are also required to have a written Food Safety plan based on HACCP principles in place before you begin trading. We advise this can very easily be achieved since the Food Standards Agency has produced a special FREE pact for the purpose. There are actually three different ones, one covers Scotland and is called 'CookSafe', 'Safe Catering' is for Northern Ireland and the other is called 'Safer Food Better Business' and covers the rest of the UK. Just visit : FSA's websitewhere you can order one for free. This site is also worth a little time spent exploring since it is an excellent source of up to date food safety information.
