The requirement of the Food Hygiene Regulations that "The proprietor of a food business shall ensure that food handlers engaged in the food business are supervised and instructed and/or trained in food hygiene matters commensurate with their work activities" means that many are seeking ways of obtaining such training conveniently and economically.
The discovery that food hygiene training can be achieved through the use of a Basic Food Hygiene CD can come as something of a relief. The use of a Basic Food Hygiene CD avoids the need to arrange for staff to attend an all day course somewhere, and cope with the need to employ replacement workers to cover the absences. Instead, those requiring training work at a computer and access the Basic Food Hygiene CD course at convenient times during the day.
In some food businesses food handlers are given a Basic Food Hygiene CD to use at home and they study the course outside normal working hours. This, of course, avoids any disruption of the business at all.
Other scenarios which benefit from the use of a Basic Food Hygiene CD include an individual operating a catering business serving a number of large functions at irregular intervals, e.g. wedding breakfasts and employing temporary staff. A Basic Food Hygiene CD can be used to train food handlers in the temporary staff pool, between functions.
A number of employment agencies use a Basic Food Hygiene CD to train staff when they are recruited to work in the food trade.
In addition to the convenience of using a Basic Food Hygiene CD such computer- based training is always likely to be a far cheaper alternative than classroom based training. With attended food hygiene courses now costing £60 + per person, the CD version will usually be significantly cheaper where several staff is to be trained.
In the current economic climate distance learning systems for food hygiene training are likely to become ever more popular, whether they are delivered online or in the form of a Basic Food Hygiene CD.
