Hygiene Sense introduces clear guidance on the importance of hygiene and the safe handling of food in a short, easy-to-read, 20-page, full-colour booklet.

The book is written to effectively instil in employees their responsibilities regarding the prevention of food poisoning. The book is ideal to support learners taking level 1 food safety training courses or as part of a staff induction training programme.

It should also be given to new employees who will have responsibility for handling food. We recommend that food handlers read the booklet and complete the tear-out quiz, preferably before they start handling food – this can assist with any due-diligence defence.

Topics covered include:

• Microbiological hazards and controls
• Preventing food poisoning
• Physical hazards and controls
• Personal health and hygiene
• Cleaning and disinfection
• The safe handling and storage of food
• Pest awareness
• HACCP
