This Food Safety Supervisor online course delivers an extensive understanding of this role – in many varying workplaces.
Created to meet Australian food safety legal requirements nation-wide, and provide a most comprehensive understanding of Food Safety in the workplace.
A food safety supervisor course with Food Safety Australia, is currently one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to obtain your required food safety supervisor qualification.
Owners of registered food businesses must ensure those who handle food within their business handle foods safely. To ensure this happens, the owner must nominate a Food Safety Supervisor, who has the responsibility of recognising, preventing and alleviating the hazards associated with food handling in your workplace.
If you are the owner of a food business, your local council may require you to provide them with a Statement of Attainment issued by a Registered Training Organisation which shows you (or your nominated person) having completed the units of competencies required to be deemed a 'Food Safety Supervisor'.
Safe food handling is important for everyone, and although having a Food Safety Supervisor is recommended for every food business, certain states in Australia legally require every registered food business to nominate a qualified Food Safety Supervisor.
Depending on the state in which your business resides; you may also be legally required to notify your local government with the details of your nominated Food Safety Supervisor. If you are unsure, contact your local council to find out what is legally required for your business.
