Why You Need ODH-Approved Certification
The Ohio Department of Health requires that each person in charge (PIC) has the knowledge to ensure the facility operates safely. Our ODH-approved course (ODH #89-188) satisfies the Level 1 Food Protection training requirements. If a health inspector visits your facility, they will look for documentation proving that a trained PIC is present during all hours of operation. Failing to provide this evidence can lead to non-compliance violations and potential fines for your establishment. By choosing an approved provider, you ensure your training is recognized by state and local regulators.

Participants will learn how to identify critical control points, manage employee health policies, and maintain proper sanitation schedules.
