Georgia Food Code requires at least one designated Certified Food Safety Manager on staff who has successful completed a food safety training program and passed an ANSI-CFP exam. Our ServSafe training covers these concepts:

• The Importance of Food Safety
• Good Personal Hygiene
• Time and Temperature Control
• Preventing Cross-Contamination
• Cleaning and Sanitizing
• Safe Food Preparation
• Receiving and Storing Food
• Food Safety Regulations
• Methods of Thawing, Cooking, Cooling and Reheating Food
• HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)

To assist food service establishments in obtaining compliance, the Richmond County Health Department offers a voluntary** two-day ServSafe course & exam. The Cost is $190.00, which includes textbook, classroom instruction, and examination testing by Certified ServSafe Instructors/Proctors.
