Modules
This module introduces what food safety is, why it matters, and what the law expects from food businesses and food handlers. Learners explore the consequences of unsafe food, basic legal responsibilities (including the idea of due diligence), and how to recognise and report food safety hazards in the workplace.
This module covers Level 1 contamination hazards and the everyday controls that prevent them. It is structured to match the qualification specification learning outcomes for LO2. Learners identify how food can become unsafe (including allergen risks), apply separation and hygiene controls to prevent cross-contamination, understand basic time and temperature controls, and apply safe handling from receipt through to service including dates and stock control.
This module focuses on the human and environmental factors that protect food from contamination. Learners learn why personal hygiene matters, how and when to wash hands effectively, and how to follow basic rules around clothing, jewellery, wounds and illness reporting. The module also covers cleaning schedules, safe waste handling and pest control basics.
