Highfield Level 2 Award in Food Safety

Those planning on working as interior crew on Super Yachts & Ships where they will be required to prepare and serve food.

Under the British Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006), all Ship's Cooks, catering staff, and others processing food in the galley are required to be suitably qualified in Food Hygiene or Food Safety in Catering (in other words, all Steward/esses and Chefs).

This is not a Maritime course per se, but a course for food handlers, which of course includes yacht Steward/esses and Chefs.

The aim of this qualification:

Is to provide individuals with knowledge of the basic food safety practices, the hazards and risks to food safety presented by food operations and personnel, together with cost-effective, practical control measures.

Learners gaining this qualification will know that food safety is the responsibility of everyone involved in the storage, preparation, cooking service and handling of food.
