Training, Health Education and Promotions
One of the most effective ways of controlling risks arising from
work or food businesses is by training /educating those involved
such as employers, employees and food handlers. The legislation,
codes of practice and guidance issued by the government endorse
this view.
The Commercial Team is able to offer both food safety and health and safety courses to
ensure adequate training has been undertaken.
National and local promotions, such
as the National No Smoking Day, Active for Life, and National Food
Safety Week are participated in. We also work with other agencies
such as the Health Authority and other Local Authorities to
co-ordinate promotions.
Heartbeat Awards are issued to food premises which attain high
standards of healthy eating options on their menus.
