Course overview
This training enables management staff of Food Service Establishments (FSEs) to understand and minimise problems caused by Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) disposed to sewer systems from commercial kitchens. Upon course completion, delegates will be able to carry out effective FOG management, including good kitchen practice, and correctly identify, position and maintain devices to minimise sewer blockages and other problems caused by FOG.
Delivery is interactive, with a mix of lecture, group discussion, and exercises to facilitate an engaging experience where delegates can reflect on shared experiences. A short end-of course assessment effectively demonstrates knowledge transfer relating to FOG management systems required for specific scenarios.
Who can benefit?
Delegates may include management staff of Food Service Establishments (FSEs) who are responsible for commercial kitchen operations and their compliance with safe waste disposal practices. This could include operational managers of businesses such as restaurants, pubs, fast-food and takeaway services.
Participants may also be drawn from any area of business or service where an increased knowledge of the management of FOG disposal to sewer systems may improve decision making in their role. For example, consultant engineers and new starters to water and sewage companies' environmental compliance teams.
