3DLA Activity 1
My plan for this lesson is to deliver basic food safety training. My objective is to enable our employees to identify potential risks to food and prevent them from affecting our business. As a food manufacturing business we have to ensure that our employees are adequately trained in food safety, some of our customers insist that we do this to ensure that our products are fit for human consumption.

Throughout the session I will also be encouraging trainee’s to engage by asking for their opinions or if they have any past experiences they want to share with the group. I am going to have a short practical activity quite early in the session highlighting good hand washing practice, to do this I am going to use a training tool called glo-germ. I’m doing this early on to try and put the trainees at ease and to get their attention for the session.

Food safety is not something that stays in the workplace as we all prepare, cook and eat food at home, so the same principles should apply in order to be safe.
I am going to use formative assessment methods throughout by asking for input on the key points of the session, I have
