5The Law
Section 1
Being human, we all need to eat and drink to survive. But food means much more than that. In this section, we will look at the definitions of terms that will be used throughout this course, food hazards, good and poor food standards, allergic reactions, microorganisms, bacteria and your responsibilities.
Section 2
Having high standards of personal hygiene at all times is crucial for all food handlers. And keeping your hands clean is one of the most important things you can do to prevent bacteria from contaminating food. This section will cover hand washing, PPE, Gloves, Jewellery, Cosmetics and First Aid, Infection and Illness.
Section 3
As a food handler, one of the best mottos you can live by is ‘clean as you go’. This means cleaning and tidying up after yourself during the working day, not just at the end of your shift. We will cover cleaning do's and don't's, schedules, bins, cleaning your fridge and disinfecting surfaces & equipment.
Section 4
The Storage and Temperature of food are key factors in working to keep food safe. There are a few different things to consider when it comes to food temperatures, deliveries, storage, preservation, packaging and labelling which we’ll take a look at in this section.
Section 5
As we’ve discussed at certain points throughout this course, there are certain legal requirements that food businesses and food handlers must meet. In this section, we will look at food legislation, food management systems, record keeping, enforcement officers, training requirements and first aid.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
Food Hygiene Regulations 2006
These regulations set out the basic hygiene requirements for all food businesses, from premises and equipment to staff training and hygiene. Critically, proof of appropriate practice and staff training are required by law.
Based on Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament, the following legislation applies to all organisations handling foodstuffs for human consumption:
- The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006
- The Food Hygiene (Wales) Regulations 2006
- The Food Hygiene (Scotland) Regulations 2006
- The Food Hygiene (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2006
An integrated approach is necessary to ensure food safety from the place of primary production up to and including placing on the market or export. Every food business operator along the food chain should ensure that food safety is not compromised.
