HACCP
Food legislation has always put the responsibility for ensuring the production of safe food on business operators but the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 make explicit the business operator's responsibility for assessing and managing food safety hazards. The regulations also require all food handlers to be aware of the basic principles of food hygiene & food safety.
GT Foodtech is registered with The Royal Institute of Public Health & Hygiene as well as The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health to run courses leading to:-
The RIPHH Primary Certificate in Food Hygiene & First Certificate in Food Safety.
The CIEH Basic Food Hygiene Certificate & Food Hygiene Options Certificate.
The Primary Certificate in Food Hygiene & Basic Food Hygiene Certificate are well established courses which cover the basic principles of good food hygiene, such as hazard awareness, temperature control, microbiology, methods of preservation, building design, personal hygiene & legislation.
The First Certificate in Food Safety is a relatively new course which has integrated these basic principles as contributory factors in the overall aim of managing hygiene to produce safe food. It has been devised to meet the need of all food handlers to be aware of food safety hazards and the ways in which they can be eliminated.
The Food Hygiene Modules Certificate not only gives food handlers an understanding of basic principles but allows them to study additional modules which deal more specifically with that branch of the food industry in which they work.
Courses are normally run for fifteen candidates and can be held at the clients premises or off site.

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINTS TRAINING
British & European Law
requires that all businesses involved in the selling or processing of food
identify all the steps within their activities which are critical to food
safety and ensure adequate safety controls are in place, maintained &
reviewed.
HACCP ( Hazard Analysis
& Critical Control Points) is a formal system which will help you to
comply with this legal requirement.
Whilst the Food Safety Act
already puts the responsibility for ensuring the production of safe food on
business operators the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 make
explicit the business operator's responsibility for assessing and managing food
safety hazards.
GT Foodtech is registered with The Royal Institute of Public Health & Hygiene to run courses leading to The Certificate in HACCP Principles.
