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.
