PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

From the 22nd February 2008, the Food Act 2006 was updated and now mandates that every licensable food business in Queensland is required to have a qualified Food Safety Supervisor .

A Food Safety Supervisor is a person who has advanced food safety skills and knowledge and has the ability to oversee the food safety operations of the food business.

The role of the Food Safety Supervisor is to ensure food hygiene and safety standards are achieved and maintained within the food business. By having at least one (1) person within a food business competent with matters relating to food hygiene and safety, it will help ensure that food produced for human consumption is safe and suitable.

A Food Safety Supervisor is a person who meets all of the following criteria:

  • has obtained the required competencies;
    •  
  • has the ability to supervise and give directions about matters relating to food safety in the food premises;
     
  • has the authority to supervise food handlers; and
     
  • has skills and knowledge relating to food safety, and the identification and prevention of food safety hazards relevant to the food business.

    The Food Safety Supervisor is expected to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the food business and they must be reasonably available to food handlers and the local government representatives as required.

    Anyone can be a Food Safety Supervisor including the business owner, manager or an employee, provided they meet the criteria detailed above.

    The requirement for a food business to have a Food Safety Supervisor is in addition to, and does not change, a food business's requirement under Food Safety Standards to ensure all staff undertaking or supervising food handling have skills and knowledge relating to food safety and food hygiene matters appropriate to their work activities.
