FOODSAFE Level 1 is a food-handling, sanitation and work safety course designed for frontline foodservice workers such as cooks, servers, bus-persons, dishwashers and deli workers. The course covers important food safety and worker safety information on foodborne illness, receiving and storing food, preparing food, serving food, cleaning and sanitizing.

Under the Food Premises Regulation, every operator of a food service establishment, and at least one employee in the absence of the operator, must hold a FOODSAFE Level 1 certificate, or a certificate from a course recognized as equivalent to FOODSAFE Level 1.

Some employers require that all their employees have a Level 1 certificate. It is an advantage to have your Food Safe certificate when applying for jobs.

The FOODSAFE course is about preventing the transmission of foodborne illness and also about worker safety on the job. People who prepare, serve and clean up food should take the course for the safety of the customers and also for their own safety.

Date: Friday February 4

Time: runs from 9 am until 2.30/3 pm (app)
