Meeting Ohio Department of Health Compliance Standards
Under the Ohio Administrative Code, every food service operation must have at least one person in charge per shift who has completed the approved Person in Charge (PIC) training. This requirement is strictly enforced by local health departments to ensure that someone on-site understands the critical principles of food safety, temperature control, and cross-contamination prevention. By choosing our ODH-approved course (Provider #89-188), you are securing a credential that is recognized across all 88 counties in the state of Ohio. The training focuses on the specific risks associated with foodborne illness, empowering your team to identify and correct hazardous conditions before they lead to health violations or public safety risks.
