Operators of registered food businesses must ensure those who handle food within their business handle foods safely. To ensure this happens, the manager/owner must nominate a Food Safety Supervisor, who has the responsibility of recognising, preventing and alleviating the risks associated with food handling in your workplace.
If you work in a commercial kitchen or are just looking to enter the industry this is an excellent qualification to hold.
During this two-day course you will gain the knowledge of safe food practices and hygiene requirements.
This course covers how to:
- Understand the obligations of food handlers under current legislation
- Handle and store food safely
- Reduce the risk of food-borne illness (food poisoning)
- Implement procedures for food safety
- Follow all food safety policies and procedures correctly and consistently according to organisation food safety program requirements to ensure compliance of all food handling practices

- Identify and report practices that are inconsistent with the food safety program
- Take corrective actions for incidents where food hazards are unacceptable
