Use hygienic practices for food safety
Provider: OPTEQ
Use hygienic practices for food safety is a foundational unit that equips food handlers with the essential skills and knowledge to prevent food contamination and food-borne illnesses. It focuses on maintaining personal hygiene, identifying potential food safety hazards, and following strict organisational procedures for cleaning and sanitising food-contact surfaces. Learners gain practical proficiency in critical safety protocols, such as correct hand-washing techniques, monitoring food storage temperatures, and managing high-risk "potentially hazardous" foods. Widely recognised as the "Level 1 Food Safety Certificate," this unit is mandatory for staff across various sectors—including cafes, restaurants, aged care facilities, and event catering—to ensure compliance with the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.
