Handy tip: Food Safety Supervisor training is industry specific so be sure to find out which course you need.
To perform the role of a Food Safety Supervisor, you’ll have to complete a nationally recognised training course. Food Safety Supervisor training is different for each of the food industry sectors - Hospitality, Food Processing, Health & Community, Transport & Distribution and Retail. You should also note that each state and territory only recognises certain industries, so before choosing a course, it's important to find out which industry you work in according to your location.
Food Safety Supervisor training teaches you the advanced skills needed to:
oversee the food safety of a business
protect consumers from foodborne illnesses
design and maintain a food safety program
manage physical, chemical and biological hazards in the workplace
train employees in food safety
ensure transparency and safety in the food supply chain - for example, checking that all deliveries from suppliers are safe and stored correctly
serve as a point of contact for local government
prepare the business for the event of a food safety emergency, such as a food poisoning incident
Once the appropriate training has been completed you will receive a Statement of Attainment which outlines the units of competency you have achieved.
