Hi there to our loyal and greatly valued Food Safety and Organisational Health Supervisors!
The kind of training that is expected of the food industry these days is varied and most importantly no longer an option but a legislated necessity.
what that means is that all our leading employees - i.e. supervisors, have to have the required skills to address concerns of
1. Food Safety
2. Organisational Health and Safety
3. Fire Safety
What that then also means is that supervisors are required to be trained in those areas in order to pass on that knowledge to those under their supervision
As you know we have therefore introduced a higher standard of training - nationally accredited training. What follows below are links to those areas of Food Safety Supervisory Training and OHS Training that are essential from now on.
1. Food Safety Supervisor
This Food Safety Supervisor course delivers an extensive understanding of this role – in many varying workplaces.Created to meet Australian food safety legal requirements nation-wide, and provide a most comprehensive understanding of Food Safety in the workplace. Owners of registered food businesses must ensure those who handle food within their business handle foods safely.
To ensure this happens, the owner must nominate a Food Safety Supervisor, who has the responsibility of recognising, preventing and alleviating the hazards associated with food handling in our workplace. Businesses that do not yet have a Food Safety Supervisor are risking a fine, and should comply with this requirement as soon as possible to avoid substantial penalties.
Please note that the Food Safety Supervisor Course qualification you receive after successfully completing our course will cover you for ALL the different sectors in the food industry:
This course has been designed to help you develop the skills and knowledge required to achieve competence in food safety. Each module of the course will help you to achieve one of the required elements of competence. You will be provided with a series of presentations and a quizzes, make sure you are completely comfortable with the presentation content before attempting the quiz, you may view them as many times as you feel necessary.
You are required to achieve a grade of 100% for each of the six quizzes in this course and you are allowed up to three attempts for each quiz. Once you have successfully passed all of the assessment, you will be able to download your Statement of Attainment for the course.
As part of this online course you must have access to a food workplace (either as an employee or a volunteer). This food workplace should:
1. Have an operational kitchen, food storage, preparation, display and service area
2. Have real food ingredients and food items
3. Be fully equipped for food preparation (eg. a commercial kitchen, catering production line or food preparation area of a food outlet)
Unlike many other online food safety supervisor courses available; we have mapped our course to include all these applicable ‘units of competence’. This ensures your certification is recognized nation-wide, no matter which food sector you may presently be working in – or your particular business belongs to. This also ensures you will still be covered by this Food Safety Supervisor course qualification; if sometime in the future you should move to a different food industry sector.
Safe food handling is important for everyone. And although having a Food Safety Supervisor supervisor is recommended for every food businesses, within certain states in Australia every registered food business is legally required to nominate a qualified Food Safety Supervisor and depending on the state in which your business resides you may be required to notify your local government with the details of your Food Safety Supervisor.

Most of us go to work on a daily basis and never realise just how often we place ourselves in unsafe situations. Workplace accidents occur regularly in every industry and the service industry is no exception. Unfortunately human error is almost always a factor and the injured person is not solely responsible for the accident. Employees, managers and owners all contribute in some way to the general safety of the workplace. OHS legislation in all Australian States and Territories imposes obligations on employees to participate in the management of their own health and safety and that of their colleagues and anyone else in the workplace. They have a duty to cooperate with their employer’s initiatives to ensure safety at work. All employees have a role to play in the minimisation of risk associated in working in environments that almost always use hazardous machinery and equipment. This unit will provide you with the skills and knowledge to minimise the risks and to work with a Duty of Care. 3. The skills you will learn:
