Every employee plays a critical role in food safety. From handling and preparation to packaging and distribution, each step matters. Skipping even one step can cause serious food safety problems. When employees follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), watch for hazards, and speak up when something is not right, they can prevent contamination and protect the public.

This training is designed to help food handlers understand how their actions directly impact food safety and public health.

After completing this training, learners will be able to:

Describe personal responsibility in food safety,
Recognize the importance of following standard operating procedures (SOPs),
Identify common food safety hazards and how to report them, and
Describe how accountability supports a culture of food safety.

Intended Audience:

Employees in the food safety industry
