GHP

Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) are a crucial element of food safety management systems, and they involve more than just keeping facilities clean. One of the essential components of GHP is ongoing training for all staff members involved in food-related activities. It is crucial to ensure that everyone handling food is appropriately trained in food hygiene to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses.

Inadequate training and supervision in food hygiene can lead to potential food safety risks, compromising the safety and fitness for the consumption of food. Therefore, food handlers, including full-time, part-time, or temporary employees, should receive proper training in food hygiene appropriate to their roles and responsibilities.

The Food Safety Center recognizes the importance of Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) in food safety management and regularly promotes them through various initiatives. Food handlers are encouraged to attend relevant food safety conferences, workshops, and training sessions to stay up-to-date with the latest food safety practices and standards.

Ultimately, ongoing training is a critical aspect of Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and essential for maintaining food safety standards, ensuring the safety and fitness for consumption of food, and protecting public health.
