Who should take this course?

This Level 1 Food Hygiene and Safety course is designed for workers who are not
directly involved with the preparation or handling of high-risk foods but work in an
environment where food is present or handled elsewhere. This also includes those
who work with wrapped or pre-packaged foods. For example:

 Front of house employees.

 Checkout staff.
 Waiters.
 Bar workers.
 Food delivery drivers and riders.
 Kitchen porters.
 Low-risk food retailers (e.g. newsagents, sweet shops).
 Warehouse staff.

If your role involves directly handling or preparing food, then you need to take Level 2
Food Hygiene and Safety (available for retail, catering, and manufacturing) in order
to comply with food handlers’ legal obligations.

If you are a manager or supervisor in a food business, you will require Level 3 Food
Hygiene and Safety.
