SafeMark Food Safety Training & Testing

The SafeMark food safety program - developed BY Retailers FOR Retailers

Food Safety Manager Training prepares managers to implement proven food safety practices and systems, maintain a safe and hygienic foodservice operation, and oversee the training and daily practices of hourly food workers to prevent the spread of foodborne illness.​

The online training courses provide easy-to-understand narration and relevant retailer images combined to make the instruction impactful for a wide range of learners. The simple interface makes it easy for learners with limited computer experience to complete the course, while the limited use of text helps learners with minimal reading skills stay focused. An engaging story arc sharpens the learning experience and increases comprehension.
