On December 12th, 2024 Worksite Safety was approved by Alberta Health for the delivery of Food Handler certification training in Alberta.

The Province of Alberta Public Health Act, Alberta Regulation 31/2006 section 31 requires that:

  1. A person operating a commercial food establishment must, at any time when there are 5 or fewer food handlers working on the premises, ensure that at least one individual who has care and control of the commercial food establishment holds a certificate issued by the Minister confirming that individual’s successful completion of a food sanitation and hygiene training program or a document that the Minister considers equivalent to such a certificate.
  2. A person operating a commercial food establishment must, at any time when there are 6 or more food handlers working on the premises, ensure that at least one member of the management or
    supervisory staff of the commercial food establishment holds a certificate or equivalent document referred to in subsection (1) and that that individual is present at the commercial food establishment at the time.
