Alberta
The Alberta Food Regulation details requirements that a food establishment must follow to ensure prevention of health hazards and the protection of the public. The regulation lists requirements regarding temperature control, maintenance, employee health & hygiene, cleaning & sanitizing, standards for equipment as well as record keeping tasks.
Like most Provinces the Alberta Food Regulation lists food handler training requirements as part of the legislation.
Alberta Food Safety Training Requirements
At least one person with an approved food safety certificate. The trained person may be absent when 5 or fewer food handlers, including wait staff, are working on the premises.
At least one person with an approved food safety certificate present when 6 or more food handlers, including wait staff, are working on the premises.
The SafeCheck Advanced Canadian Food Safety Certificate is approved by Alberta Health and all other Provinces and Territories across Canada. It is considered equivalent to FoodSafe 1 & FoodSafe 2 by the Alberta Ministry of Health.
