Health Unit Food Safety Initiative Offers Free Safe Food Handling Training
The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has updated its food handler certification course and is pleased to offer these new food safety training sessions at no cost. Registration is open to operators and employees of food premises and those seeking employment in the food industry.
Free access to current food safety strategies benefits the community as a whole as the food sector provides jobs for many residents of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark counties. The Health Unit supports safe, locally produced food and by offering relevant food safety training for our local food businesses, the Health Unit moves closer to achieving goals laid out in the strategic plan “Moving Upstream”.
Participants will receive a package of course materials and upon achieving a minimum of 70% on the post course exam, will receive a wallet sized certified food handler certificate. This credential is accepted by all health units in Ontario and is valid for five years. Call the Health Unit at 613-345-5685 (Brockville) or 613-283-2740 (Smiths Falls) to register for one of the courses. Further information on food safety training options and information on food safety is available on our website at: healthunit.org/foodsafety/foodhandler/foodhandler.htm
