This manual describes the FOODSAFE Registry web application, which is used by Environmental Health Services, Yukon and the provincial Health Authorities in British Columbia to record the names of people who have taken FOODSAFE courses, the results of their examination, and the names of instructors who can teach FOODSAFE courses in their respective jurisdictions.
This document describes how to search the registry, enter and modify data, print FOODSAFE certificates for students and instructors, and run reports.
Specifically this manual describes the FOODSAFE Registry 2 application, developed in 2013 by the Queen’s Printer, to replace the FOODSAFE Registry 1 system, including modifications made in 2015 to integrate Environmental Health Services, Yukon Territory into the registry.
Historical Note: The FOODSAFE Registry 2 application contains information about all the students who have taken FOODSAFE courses in B.C. from April 1, 1986 onwards, administered by the BC Health Authorities; and all the Yukon students (administered by EHS, Yukon) who have taken FOODSAFE courses since Yukon’s involvement with the BC FOODSAFE program began, approximately 15 years ago (2000). BC data and Yukon data is stored in separate databases within the registry. Yukon users have access to Yukon data only, and BC users have access to BC data only. |
This document is intended for FOODSAFE Registry users who are assigned the Clerical role in the registry. The Clerical role is a data entry role, which allows the user to search data, enter and modify student and instructor data, print certificates and run reports. Functions used by the Administration role are included in a separate manual.
While there is no regulatory requirement for Yukon students to participate in the FOODSAFE Program, Environmental Health Services encourages and supports all clients to complete FOODSAFE training.
In British Columbia, the FOODSAFE Program is authorized by the following legislation:
As the FOODSAFE Program is a legislative requirement in British Columbia, it is necessary to gather and store information on students in B.C. who have taken the FOODSAFE courses.
The British Columbia FOODSAFE program is authorized by the B.C. Public Health Act, Food Premises Regulation, section 10, which states that the operator of a food service establishment (or one employee while the operator is away) must have taken the FOODSAFE course (or its equivalent).
The personal information used by the FOODSAFE Registry is collected in accordance with the British Columbia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, section 26. The personal information used by the FOODSAFE Registry relates directly to and is necessary for the operation of the FOODSAFE Program.
In accordance with Section 27(1) of the FOIPPA, all personal information will be collected directly from the individual. The accuracy of FOODSAFE information is verified by the FOODSAFE client at the time the information is collected. At any time, an individual can verify the accuracy of his or her personal information held in the FOODSAFE Registry by contacting the local health office. An individual FOODSAFE client consents to this use of personal information when he or she completes a FOODSAFE form or writes a FOODSAFE test.
An individual may have his or her own records corrected through the local health office. At the request of the individual, authorized personnel in the local health office can make corrections to any FOODSAFE information, except test scores. If the original data entry form is still available in the local health office the authorized personnel can refer to it to check the validity of the test scores.
Employers do not have direct access to FOODSAFE information and any requests from an employer or any other party for information about a FOODSAFE client will be referred to the individual in question. FOODSAFE information may be released to an employer (or other party) only where there is written permission from the client.
To get help with FOODSAFE Registry technical issues, please
contact customer service at Crown Publications, Queen's Printer in Victoria,
B.C. Please state at the beginning of your call or email that you need help

The Students search is the default search and is already selected in the search Category menu:
|
You can search for a student by one or more of the following search criteria:
|
TIPS · To move from one search field to the next, use the Tab key. · Search results are ordered alphabetically by last name and then by first name. ·
Name
searches behave like wildcard searches:
· Data can be entered in the search criteria fields in upper or lower case letters. Searches are case insensitive. |
If you are not sure of the spelling of a name, enter the first few letters of the name. The name searches behave like wildcard searches. A search for “Deb” will return “Deb”, “Debbie”, “Debra”, “Deborah”, etc.
In the following example, to search by Last Name and First Name initial:
1. Enter student last name “Richard” in the Last Name field and enter “P” as the first letter of the First Name. Click on the Search button (or hit the Enter key on your keyboard).
|
2. The name searches perform like a wildcard search and returns results for “Richard”, “Richards” and Richardson”. Broadening the search in this way provides a greater chance of finding the person you are looking for quickly and accurately. The search results are ordered alphabetically by last name and then alphabetically by first name and middle name:
|
3. To refine the search, return to the search form and enter further data, e.g. city, and click on Search:
|
4. Now the search results include only students with last name starting with Richard, first name starting with P, from the city of Whitehorse:
|
When a search is performed, the data you entered into the search fields is saved until you perform another search.
To add criteria to the last search you performed, simply enter data in additional fields, and click on the Search button.
|
To start a new search, click on the Clear Search Form button, enter new criteria in the empty search fields and click on the Search button (or hit Enter on the keyboard).
|
To search students by Gender:
1. Enter any known data in the name fields and select Male, Female, X or Undetermined. You may use the mouse to access the drop down menu, or simply type in “M”, “F”, “X” or “U” in the field. In this example, the search is for last name “Richard” and “Female” gender:
|
2. The search results include only records with Female gender and exclude records with Male, X or Undetermined gender:
|
Update
January 2020 British Columbians who do not identify as male or female will have the choice to display an “X” as a third option in the gender field of the Foodsafe exam registration forms. Accordingly, a new gender value of “X” has been added to the Registry. If a form is submitted without a gender selection, please enter “Undetermined”. |
To search by Birthdate:
1. When you click in the Birthdate field or tab to the Birthdate field, a calendar pops open.
2. You may enter the birthdate by clicking on a date in the calendar.
Use the back-arrow icon at the top of the calendar to navigate to earlier months and years in the calendar.
|
3. Alternatively, you may enter the birthdate by typing data into the birthdate field in the following format, including dashes: yyyy-mm-dd
|
4. After you enter the date, hit Enter or the Tab key and the calendar will close.
Note to Yukon Users: The PHN does not apply to the Yukon FOODSAFE program. |
Update November
2017 |
|
Every client (student and instructor) has a People ID which is a unique identifier number generated automatically by the system when a new client (student) record is created. The People ID remains the same if a student becomes an instructor and remains the same no matter how many exams the student takes.
Student and Instructor records can be searched by their People ID. The people ID is printed on all student and instructor certificates and wallet cards.
|
Historical Note: Students imported from the B.C. Registry 1 into Registry 2 retained the people ID created in the previous system. |

|
|
5.
For instructors who are qualified to teach in more than one Health Authority service area you can view their qualifications across all
Health Authorities; however, you will only be able to edit, delete or print
qualifications if you are logged in under the same Health Authority service

The BC
Center for Disease Control determines the courses equivalent to a FOODSAFE
course. Some students have a food safety certification deemed to be equivalent
to BC FOODSAFE Level 1, as verified by FOODSAFE authorities. The Level 1
equivalent enables the student to register for the FOODSAFE Level 2 course and
receive a Level 2 certificate. The
equivalency information is associated with the Level 2 exam.
Note to Yukon users: For Yukon students who have an approved FOODSAFE Level 1 equivalent and register for the online FOODSAFE Level 2 course, the Level 2 certificates will be processed through Yukon’s Open School queue. |
To record a Level 1 Equivalent:
1.
After you have entered the student’s
personal details (name, address, etc.), go to Add New Exam:
|
2.
Under Type of Exam, select Level 2:
|
3.
When Level 2 is selected the L1 Equivalent field is displayed:
|
4.
If the student has a verified
FOODSAFE Level 1 Equivalent, select Yes
from the menu:
|
5.
Enter the values for the remaining
fields, and Submit:
|
6.
Under Exam History, a checkmark appears in the L1 Equivalent column.
Under Exam Details the L1 Equivalent
field is marked “Yes”:
|
7.
If the student has the Level 1
Equivalent plus a passing grade on the Level 2 exam, a Level 2 certificate will
automatically be added to My Student Queue.
TIPS ·
When adding Level 2 exams
for students with a valid Level 1, in the L1 Equivalent field enter “No” (or
leave it blank). Both values are treated as “No” when searches are performed
on Level 1 Equivalent = No. ·
When a successful Level 2 exam with a
Level 1 Equivalent is submitted to the Registry, a Level 2 certificate is
automatically loaded to My Student Queue or My Open School Queue. ·
If the exam record is edited whereby
the Level 1 Equivalent value is changed from Yes to a No value, the Level 2
certificate is automatically removed from the certificate queue. ·
The BC Center for Disease Control
determines the courses equivalent to a FOODSAFE course. For more information
please visit BCCDC’s website at: |
Note from BCCDC: Clerical role users can only alter or delete exam records that are within their own Health Authority and Service Area. If the record is outside your Health Authority / Service Area, please forward the information to the clerical user(s) who is designated to administer that Service Area, indicating which exam records need to be changed. Note from BCCDC: Clerical role users can update the personal information for students in any Health Authority / Service Area. If you have new personal information for a student, please update their personal details (e.g. name, address, telephone, email). |
Note to Yukon users: Currently Yukon users have one Health Authority
with no service areas. Any user with the clerical
role under the EHS Yukon Health
Authority can delete a student exam under the EHS Yukon Health Authority. |
To delete a student exam, the student exam must be under the
Health Authority service area you
are logged in under.
A user logged in under one Health Authority service area cannot delete a
student exam for a student exam in another service area.
To delete an exam:
1. In the following example, the user is logged in under VIHA – Central Vancouver Island Service Area. The student Exam is under the same service area. The user may delete either or both exams.
|
2. To delete the Level 2 exam, click on the Level 2 exam in the Exam History box to display the exam details:
|
3. At the bottom of the Exam details page click on the Delete Exam button:
|
4. Click OK at the prompt:
|
5. The exam is deleted and also removed from the Exam History box:
|
TIPS · A student exam cannot be deleted from a client who is certified as an instructor in the Registry. · To delete an exam from an Instructor record, the Instructor qualifications must be deleted first. |
Note to Yukon users: The following
process for record deletion was developed by the Administrator at the BC
Center for Disease Control to manage requests from the multiple Health
Authorities in B.C. and is included for reference. For Yukon users, the
delete student record function is referenced in the Administrator user
manual. |
You can only request deletion of a student record for a student within your own Health Authority.
To request a deletion for student within your Health Authority, see Section 4.8.1, Delete student records within your Health Authority.
If you have found a duplicate record for a student outside your Health Authority please follow the instructions under Section 4.8.2 Delete student records outside your Health Authority.
Note from BCCDC: If you have new personal information for a student in
any Health Authority / Service Area, please update their personal details
(e.g. name, address, telephone, email). Note from BCCDC: BCCDC will only delete student records that have no exam results attached to the record. |
If you have identified a duplicate student record within your Health Authority:
1. Confirm that the person in one record is the same as the person in a suspected duplicate record, by comparing (and matching) personal identifiers (PHN, birth date, address, etc.)
2. Transfer any missing exam information, comments, etc. to the record that will be retained. Any questionable records should not be altered or deleted.
3. Once information has been transferred over, delete any exam records attached to the duplicate record, using the Delete Exam button.

TIP: When extending a teaching expiry date, always use the Edit function. If you try to add a second course level 1 or course level 2 under the same Health Authority service area, the FOODSAFE Registry considers it a duplicate and will not save the data. The following error message will display in the Instructor Qualifications panel.
|
To update the course level expiry date:
1. Ensure you are logged in under the Health Authority service area in which the instructor is being certified to teach.
2. In the Instructor Qualification panel, click on the Edit button below the course level you are updating:

System to system functions have been implemented in the
FOODSAFE Registry which allow the Open School system to query the FOODSAFE
Registry about student prerequisites for taking courses; and to allow Open
School to submit student and exam information to the FOODSAFE Registry
electronically:
When a student attempts to register for a Level 2 course on
the Open School website, the Open School pre-registration system sends a query
to the FOODSAFE Registry database to check whether the student has the required
Level 1 prerequisite.
If the student is found in the Registry they are advised by
the Open School system:
“Congratulations, we found your
FOODSAFE level 1 exam results. You will now be directed to the shopping cart to
complete your purchase.”
If the student is not found in the Registry or if they are
found in the Registry but do not have a valid Level 1, the student is instructed
as follows:
Image: July 25, 2019 |
The
Refresher course is only available to individuals who have a valid
(non-expired) FoodSafe Level 1 certificate. In
order to take the course, students must register online at Open School BC
before the Level 1 certificate expiration date.
A
valid FoodSafe Level 1 exam has a passing grade of 70% or greater and is
unexpired.
If students took a different food
safety course (not FOODSAFE) they are not eligible for the Refresher, even if
the certificate is valid.
TIPS For more information about FoodSafe Level 1
recertification visit Open School’s recertification page: |
For students who have met the
requirements establishing a FOODSAFE Level 1 equivalency, Open School submits FOODSAFE
Level 2 exam data to the Registry with the Level 1 Equivalent field marked
“Yes”.
Level 2 exams with a Level 1
Equivalent are automatically added to the Open School certificate queue for
printing.
For
a student who takes Level 2 with no Level 1 prerequisite nor a Level 1 equivalent,
their personal information and exam data is submitted to the FOODSAFE Registry,
but a certificate is not added to the certificate queue, and the Print Single
Certificate function is disabled.
TIPS The BC Centre
for Disease Control determines equivalencies for FOODSAFE Level 1. For more
information about out-of-province FOODSAFE Level 1 equivalents, visit the
Open School Frequently Asked Question page; and, the BCCDC food protection services page

A default service area
has been chosen by each Health Authority for the purpose of administering Open
School’s FOODSAFE Level 1 and Level 2 records and Open School’s MarketSafe
records in the Registry.
The Open School add-on role must be assigned under the default service areas in order for the
clerical user to be able to access the Open School and MarketSafe Open School
queues.
The default service
areas for each Health Authority are as follows:
Regional Health Authority |
Default Service Area |

When Open School FOODSAFE
Level 1 and 2 student records are submitted to the Registry, certificates
for successful students are routed to the Open School queue and their exam
results are registered under the default service areas.
When Open School MarketSafe
student records are submitted to the Registry, certificates for successful
students are routed to the MarketSafe Open School queue and their exam results
are registered under the default service areas.
For example, if a student lives in the East Kootenay service
area, their Open School record will be posted under the default service area
for Interior Health, i.e. South Okanagan service area. The Health Authority
field in the Exam Details will display the default service area, South
Okanagan. Regardless of which Interior Health service area the student exam is
registered under, their certificates will display only the regional logo for
Interior Health.
The Open School
Refresher certificate queue is available only to registry users with the Clerical role + Refresher add-on role +
Simon Fraser default HA Service Area.
Regardless of the student’s Health Authority, all B.C. Refresher course
exam results are submitted to the FOODSAFE Registry under the default service
area for the Fraser Health Authority, which is the Simon Fraser Service Area.
Fraser Health prints Refresher certificates for all B.C. students. In place of
