Food Safety Awareness Training: HACCP Principles

In the food industry, managing safety hazards isn’t just about knowing what can go wrong — it’s about having the right systems in place to prevent it. One of the most critical tools used to achieve this is HACCP — Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point.

This internationally recognised approach to food safety focuses on identifying risks, monitoring procedures, and taking proactive action when things go off course. Whether you’re handling raw ingredients, preparing meals, or overseeing packaging and distribution, understanding HACCP principles is key to ensuring compliance, quality, and public health.

Our Food Safety Awareness Course provides a thorough yet accessible introduction to HACCP, helping your team recognise risks and manage them confidently. With engaging video content and a post-course questionnaire, learners receive instant certification — all available with just a few clicks.
