What training does a Food Safety Supervisor need?
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 most likely 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 and community and retail. So, before choosing a course, it's important to find out which industry your business falls under.
Food Safety Supervisor training teaches you the advanced skills needed to:
- Oversee the food safety of a business
- Protect customers 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.
