Under section 19 of the Safety & Health at Work Act 2005, employers are required to carry out risk assessments and to record these in the Safety Statement. A fire safety risk assessment should be conducted and should include,

2. Fire detection and warning.

3. Emergency escape and fire fighting.

Our training courses will cover these topics in detail.

The safest way to deal with fire is to prevent it.

Level 1 provides information on basic food safety skills that staff should be able to demonstrate within the first month of employment.

The word HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point) refers to procedures you must put in place to ensure the food you produce is safe. These procedures make up your food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP.

Your food safety management system allows you to identify and control any hazards that could pose a danger to the preparation of safe food. It helps you to:

1. Identify what can go wrong.

2. Plan to prevent it.

3. Make sure you are doing it.

HACCP is a legal requirement but will also benifit your business.

Our training courses will cover these topics in detail.
