Why Study Food Hygiene and Safety?

For anyone looking to build a successful career in the food sector, a robust knowledge of key food safety and hygiene principles is mandatory.  It is the responsibility of every worker within the food supply chain to uphold the highest possible food safety standards at all times.  From the moment raw materials or sourced to the consumption of the final product, a wide variety of risks must be carefully tracked and controlled.  Food-related illness affects the lives of millions of people each year, in some cases with catastrophic consequences. Food safety and hygiene policies exist to prevent such issues from occurring – not to deal with the aftermath. From business owners to senior management figures to entry-level members of the workforce, the importance of food hygiene and safety skills is universal.  Whatever your long-term objectives, this Level 1 Food Hygiene and Safety Award could help you become a more capable and confident worker.

At Oxford Home Study Centre, we offer an extensive catalogue cost-effective online courses across a dynamic range of disciplines. This entry-level Food Hygiene and Safety Award is suitable for newcomers and experienced personnel alike, touching upon a series of essential topics as follows:

Module 1 - Introduction to Food Safety

Candidates are introduced to the primary principles of food safety in the first module, which examines the importance of maintaining the highest possible food safety standards and the consequences of inadequate food safety.  Learners are also presented with a brief overview of the recent history of food safety.

Module 2 - What is Food Hygiene

Focus shifts to food hygiene in the second module, outlining the various contamination risks that must be considered when manufacturing, storing, handling, shipping and preparing food products.  The basics of good personal hygiene are also touched upon, along with the steps that must be taken to minimise or eliminate the risk of food poisoning.

Module 3 - The 4Cs of Food Hygiene

The course concludes with a fascinating introduction to the ‘4Cs’ food hygiene methodology, which discusses how the key to food safety lies in effective cleaning, cooking, chilling and cross-contamination prevention.  An introduction to food temperatures and cooking times to ensure the product is suitable for consumption is also provided.
