I am part of the senior management team of a large food manufacturing company and I believe that we have food safety pretty well covered, so how do I know whether the business can benefit from the services of Safeprep?
That’s easy, give us a call and after an initial discussion over the phone we can arrange to come out and visit your site to conduct a CNA (Client Needs Analysis), this is a free service designed to find out if we can help you to improve your process controls.
-
I am responsible for all the catering for my school and have a staff of cooks and dinner ladies, do my dinner ladies need to be qualified to handle food?
Yes they do! In short the regulations state that people who handle food should have a recognised qualification suitable for the tasks that they carry out, typically this would be a Level 2 Certificate in Food Safety or equivalent. We at Safeprep will be happy to train your staff for you.
-
Do you offer a training service and if so what does it cover?
We offer a wide range of training on all things ‘food safety’ including HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and COSHH (Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health). Safeprep also offer a wide range of other training in general Health & Safety through our associate companies.
-
What does the term ‘Competent Person’ mean?
Food businesses are required to show that they have someone who has the hygiene knowledge to keep the public safe when consuming their food. Safeprep can act as your ‘competent person’ for you or better still train you so that you can confidently be that person yourself.
-
I run a food factory and have just discovered that all my staff need a certificate in food safety, where do I start?
