The NSW Food Safety Supervisor course helps businesses meet their obligations under the Food Standards Code, which requires all food handlers to have skills and knowledge appropriate to the tasks they undertake while handling food. Retail and hospitality food businesses selling ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous foods that are handled by the business (i.e. not received and sold as packaged) before sale must appoint at least one Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) per premises.

Every food business is required to have a food safety supervisor. This intensive one-day course includes visits to food operations sites as part of the assessment and provides supervisors in hospitality businesses with the required certification, 'Participate in safe food handling practices' (SITXFSA006), for the role of Food Safety Supervisor.

This course is for people handling food in a café, restaurant, school canteen, hotel, supermarkets, fast food outlet, sandwich shop, catering operations or other food retail outlets, under supervision. You will learn how to identify and control food hazards, prevent contamination of food that may lead to food borne illnesses and accurately report on food contamination incidents and hygiene hazards.
