Who is required to have food safe certification?

The British Columbia health act states that every food service establishment must hold a certificate of the successful completion of the food handler program known as food safe. The act also states that every food establishment operator must have someone present that holds a certificate whenever the establishment is open.

Participants that successfully complete the food safety training course will receive a certificate that is valid for 5 years. Participants must renew this certification after every 5 years.  It is recommended that you renew your food safe certification every 3 years.  Certification is issued through the Health Authority of Victoria. In case of lost certification participants will need to contact the local health authority to be issued a replacement.
