Food Safety Training

Food Safety training from Praxis42 helps all those employees involved in food safety to recognise the safe practices of food.

Every year thousands of people suffer illness as a result of poor food safety and hygiene practices. Some of these cases have resulted in fatalities or disability. Training in food safety and hygiene is a legal requirement however it also makes good sense for any food serving organisation to ensure that its customers are not exposed to food hazards.

The course helps those who may be inexperienced or unaware or have forgotten how to work safely in food preparation areas so that they better understand how food can become dangerous to customers. The course covers safe practices in the preparation, cooking and handling of food. The syllabus closely follows the Food Safety Level 2 content covering the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) as it applies to food safety and the trainee’s responsibilities. This is an IOSH approved course.

We worked with Praxis42 in August 2020 to obtain a Covid-19 Return to Work eLearning module for our staff. The module from Praxis42 stood out from others as it delivered on all fronts: the content was excellent, it was visually engaging as a result of using the latest eLearning software and the user experience was fantastic.

We like working with Praxis42 as they are large enough to manage the business requirement but are small enough to ensure that there is a personal relationship to assist with dynamic situations at speed to ensure that McColl’s needs are met.

We are delighted that our partnership with the Praxis42 team has been extended for a further three years and are looking forward to working with them on the next phase of our safety journey.
