Food & Drink Safety Passport

Food & Safety Passport Birmingham

What Is the SPA Food & Drink Safety Passport—and Why Do You Need It?

In the fast-paced world of food and drink manufacturing, safety is paramount. The SPA Food & Drink Safety Passport is a recognised industry-standard qualification that ensures all personnel working in this environment understand core health and safety protocols, along with the unique risks associated with food and drink production.

Whether you’re an employee, contractor, or employer, this passport is often required before you’re even allowed on site.

 

What Does the Course Cover?

The SPA (Safety Pass Alliance) Food & Drink Safety Passport is split into two key modules:

  1. Core Health & Safety Awareness – Covering topics such as hazard spotting, manual handling, working at height, fire safety, and environmental concerns.

  2. Food & Drink Industry-Specific Module – Focused on hygiene regulations, allergen awareness, contamination control, and safe working practices in food and drink manufacturing environments.

Together, these modules equip delegates with the knowledge to work safely, responsibly, and legally within food production facilities.

This course is essential for:

  • Contractors and temporary staff working in food manufacturing plants

  • Employees who need to access operational areas

  • Suppliers and service engineers attending production sites
