Understanding Ohio Department of Health Requirements

The Ohio Dept of Health (ODH) mandates that a Person in Charge (PIC) be knowledgeable about food safety as it relates to their specific operation. Under ODH License #89-188, ACE Continuing Education provides the necessary training to cover critical areas such as time and temperature control, personal hygiene, and cross-contamination prevention. This training is not just a legal hurdle; it is a vital part of a food safety management system. Failing to have a certified PIC on duty can result in critical violations during routine inspections, potentially leading to fines or administrative actions against the establishment. By completing this $10 course, you ensure that your facility meets the highest standards of the Ohio Department of Health.
