Level 2 Food Hygiene Online Training
Working in a kitchen comes with a risk of injury, which most commonly includes cuts or burns. You must ensure key managers and team leaders are appropriately trained in first aid, in order to be able to administer skills where required. We’ve included the First Aid at Work Course within our catering bundle.
Of course, food businesses don’t just cook and serve, which is why we’ve included a Manual Handling course, which is ideal for staff in charge of unloading deliveries and restocking the kitchen. It is a manager’s responsibility to provide manual handling training to all employees, teaching them appropriate handling and lifting techniques to avoid injury.
If your business is growing, and you’re on the lookout for new staff to join your team, we’d recommend taking the Equality and Diversity Course, also included in this bundle. This course focuses on making you aware that equal opportunities should be readily available regardless of the diversity within the workforce.
Busy kitchen environments can quickly lead to potential hazards that could cause workers to slip and fall. This could look like leaky drink dispensers, and splashing of hot oil or food on the floor. With our Slips, Trips, and Falls course, we offer guidance on how to avoid these hazards in order to create a safer work environment to avoid minor and serious injuries.
When you choose us, you’ll be able to benefit from bulk-value deals, coming in at just £4.99 when you buy 10 courses or more - perfect for those of you buying for your whole team. If you’re after certification in a hurry, our food health and safety courses can be completed in under a few hours, giving you same day certification. We also offer other great benefits when you choose to train in health and safety in catering and hospitality, including an 85% first time pass rate, unlimited free exam resits, and a downloadable certificate. Where applicable, your health and safety certificate will be recognised by local authorities, major employers, and OTAVS.
Which Courses Do I Need To Complete To Ensure Restaurant Health & Safety?
You need to complete courses that cover all aspects of health and safety in a food or hospitality business. This will obviously include Food Hygiene Level 2, but it should also include basic first aid training, and manual handling training. If you have a team of people working for you, we’d also recommend completing some form of equality and diversity at work training - to ensure you are offering everyone equal opportunities, regardless of their nationality or background. We have outlined the specific courses to take in the section above.
Why Is Health & Safety Important in a Restaurant?
Restaurants and other catering businesses are surprisingly full of hazards, whether that be to workers or to customers eating the food you serve. These could include burns, cuts, and food poisoning in the worst case scenario. By training your staff on health and safety, whether that be food hygiene or first aid, you will greatly reduce the risk of these hazards. It is also a legal requirement to ensure staff are ‘adequately trained’ in health and safety in order to meet regulations and standards. If you don’t, you could risk large fines and authorities shutting down your business.
