Overview
The Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) training program provides participants with the underpinning knowledge and the understanding, on how to recognise, prevent and alleviate the hazards associated with the handling of food.
Legislation in Australia requires certain food businesses in the hospitality and retail food service sector to appoint at least one trained Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) per venue.
These requirements are to help safeguard consumers from foodborne illness.
Our work-based course provides organisations with the opportunity to provide groups of staff with Food Safety training via on-site workshops at a time convenient to the organisation and the participants. Our dedicated training facilitators will deliver training in the workplace in a full day training session.
