Whether you’re preparing meals, handling ingredients, or serving food to the public, hygiene is non-negotiable.
Poor food safety can cause serious illness, legal penalties, and damage to your brand.
At Ireland Safety Training, we offer a fully online, CPD-certified Food Safety & HACCP Training Course that helps food handlers across Ireland and the UK comply with legal standards and protect public health — quickly and affordably.
Under EU Regulation EC 852/2004 and the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) guidelines, employers must ensure that all food handlers:
Are supervised and trained in food hygiene
Understand HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)
Know how to prevent contamination and protect consumer health
The UK’s Food Safety Act 1990 and Food Hygiene Regulations 2006 also mandate similar standards.
Contaminated food can cause:
Salmonella, E. coli, and listeria infections
Cross-contamination through poor handling
Allergic reactions due to undeclared allergens
Proper training significantly reduces these risks.
Today’s consumers want:
Safe, clean food preparation
Clear allergen labelling
Visible safety certifications and compliance
Training gives you the credibility to pass inspections and build trust.

Kitchen and catering staff
Food truck operators and takeaways
Retail workers handling open food
Deli, café, and bakery teams
