Does my observer need to have a Food Safety Supervisor certificate?
The person that acts as your nominated observer does not need to be a Food Safety Supervisor. They need to be employed either on a full time, part time or volunteer basis in a position where they handle food. They must also have current knowledge and skills in food safety.
Your observer should work in the same industry as you, preferably as a supervisor or team leader, and has to have observed you complete the tasks listed in the Observer Report over a period of time.
