Course Details
This is a re-introduced course that really focusses on hand hygiene.
I first produced the course when COVID began back in 2020 and it was very popular but I withdrew it once COVID had become less important but I did get a number of requests from food businesses that they wish the course was still available.
This re-introduced version has had a lot of tweaks to remove references to COVID but of course there are many other bugs which can be spread via our hands such as colds, flu and noroviruses.
Food poisoning often has its starting point with someone contaminating food with unclean hands.
In the first two sections you will learn how hands act as a ‘weapon of cross-contamination’ and the second section covers everything you may need to know about how to avoid spread of infection and germs from your hands.
The third section covers all the frequently asked questions (FAQ’s) including products to use issues regarding wearing of jewellery, fingernails and use of nailbrushes, and the best way to dry hands avoid recontaminating them.
Of course no FAQ would be complete without covering the pros and cons of wearing food gloves!
The course is totally on-line (no classes to attend!), so you can learn at work, home whenever or wherever suits.
Each lesson has a short quiz. There is no time limit on the quizzes and you make as many attempts as you need to pass.
The certificates issued acknowledge the achievement earned and when signed by the certificate holder it conveys to that person and to their customers a sense of continuing pride and commitment in having clean, safe hands.
This signing by the certificate holder also reflects and supports the MPI template and National Programme guides on both Knowing AND Doing.
This course really goes a long way to help not only food businesses and their staff, but anyone who needs to have clean, infection free hands (such as doctors, nurses and beauticians, tattooists, hairdressers etc).
