Do I have to have a FOODSAFE certificate to work as a server? The BC Health Act: Food Premises Regulation, Part 3, Division 2 - Training, Foodsafe Training 10 states that: 1) Every operator of a food service establishment must hold a certificate, issued by a health official, for the successful completion of the food handler training program known as FOODSAFE or its equivalent. 2) Every operator of a food service establishment must ensure that, while the operator is absent from the food service establishment, at least one employee present in the establishment holds the certificate referred to in subsection (1). This means that it is not required by the BC regulation that you have a FOODSAFE Level 1 certificate in order to work as a server. However, some employers require that all their employees have a Level 1 certificate. Also, it is an advantage to have your certificate when applying for jobs. The FOODSAFE course is about preventing the transmission of foodborne illness and also about worker safety on the job. People who prepare, serve and clean up food should take the course for the safety of the customers and also for their own safety. To find courses in your area, search the directory found on the Courses page. Does my FOODSAFE certificate expire? Some employers require a new certificate after a certain period of time. However, at present, most FOODSAFE certificates do not expire. If you received your Level 1 certificate more than three years ago, it is recommended that you take the course again. Having a recent certificate is an advantage when seeking employment. How do I get a replacement certificate? FOODSAFE certificates are issued by the Health Authorities and you will need to contact the Health Authority in the region where you took the course to get a replacement certificate.
