When food is contaminated, it becomes dangerous to consumers. Employees who handle food as part of their role must know how to manage the risk of microbiological, physical, chemical and allergenic contamination. This involves being able to identify and manage the hazards involved in the food manufacturing process and follow food hygiene and safety principles.

This Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Manufacturing course is suitable for anyone who prepares, cooks, packages or processes food in a manufacturing environment. You will learn how to work in line with food safety law and best practice to control food hazards by implementing the correct methods of food storage, food preparation, personal hygiene and premises maintenance.

• Explain your own and others’ responsibilities for food hygiene and safety in line with food safety law.

Over 2 million cases of foodborne illness occur in the UK every year. The risk of illnesses from food increases when workers involved in the preparation, handling and serving of food do not have the information or training necessary to enable them to work safely and hygienically.

Food businesses have a legal responsibility to protect consumers from food that is damaging to health, from receiving food that is not of the nature, substance or quality which consumers expect and from food that is labelled, advertised and presented in a way that is false or misleading. Failure to comply with your duties and responsibilities as a food business may result in action being taken against you by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) or other enforcement agencies. Level 3 Food Hygiene and Safety in Manufacturing training would be more appropriate for food business owners, managers and supervisory staff. This Level 2 training course is more suitable for staff in non-senior roles.

Employees involved in the preparation, handling and serving of food can be at risk of causing foodborne illnesses if the risks are not managed effectively. Food businesses must provide employees with information, instruction and training suitable to the work that they are carrying out. This will ensure that they understand the food safety legislation and practices in place, helping to protect the health and safety of themselves and others. By taking our Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Manufacturing training course, employees will learn about food hygiene and the law, helping them to recognise and work towards best practice principles. The course will explain responsibilities, how to prepare, handle, store and serve food safely, as well as how to maintain high standards of food hygiene.

Once you have completed all of the online training material you will be able to take the online assessment. The assessment consists of 30 multiple choice questions with a pass mark of 80%. The answers are marked instantly so you will know whether you have passed as soon as you finish.

If you don’t pass the assessment you can review the course material and take the assessment again as many times as necessary at no extra charge.

When food is contaminated, it becomes harmful to consumers and puts them at risk of dangers such as foodborne illnesses, allergic reactions and injuries from physical hazards. Anyone who handles food as part of their job role has a responsibility to comply with food safety and hygiene legislation to keep food safe and protect consumers.

Breaking food safety law not only puts your consumers at risk, but means that both you and your employer may face prosecution. It is essential that you can work in line with food safety laws and implement best practice procedures in your food manufacturing role to consistently produce safe food.

This Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Manufacturing course is suitable for anyone who prepares, cooks, packages or processes food in a manufacturing environment. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Production operatives.
• Factory workers.
• Warehouse staff.
• Packers.
• Bakers.
