Infection Protection Act Training: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This training provides the necessary instruction to ensure you understand how to prevent the spread of infections when handling food. It is a mandatory requirement to ensure public health standards are met in food-related environments.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for all food handlers. If your work involves the handling, preparation, or serving of food, you are required to complete this training to ensure you are aware of the hygiene standards necessary to keep the public safe.

🎁What you get

By completing the training, you receive the legal clearance required to work in a kitchen. This clearance serves as official proof that you have been briefed on the relevant health regulations and are permitted to perform your duties in a food-handling capacity.

💰What it costs you

Attending this briefing involves a small fee. This fee covers the cost of the one-hour briefing session provided by the local health department. You will need to pay this amount to receive your certification.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that this is not a permanent qualification. You must renew your training periodically to ensure your clearance remains valid and you stay in compliance with health regulations. Failing to renew your training could result in you losing your legal clearance to work in a kitchen.
