Food Safety Laws & Requirements for Training Managers

Large organisations need to consider federal laws, state regulations, and the role and location of employees when planning food safety training.

Food safety compliance is crucial

Food safety training can pose many challenges to large organisations:
  • It's a complex subject
  • Multiple state and federal compliance laws must be considered
  • Every employee's training must be valid
  • Many employees may need to be enrolled at different times
And ultimately, you need to protect your customers and business reputation from food incidents.It's important that your food safety training meets all requirements - and is designed for large organisations to implement, manage and update on scale.

You must comply with all Food Safety Laws

Food Safety is governed by two sets of legislation - state and federal. Both are enforced at a local council level by Health Inspectors.

Federal Legislation

The federal legislation is governed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).Standard 3.2.2A sets the requirements for all food workers to have completed mandatory Food Safety Supervisor or Food Handler training.

State Legislation

Each state has its own Food Safety Act that needs to be adhered to.This legislation often has additional requirements to those set out in the FSANZ standards. You must adhere to both state and federal legislation.
