HLTFSE005 Apply and Monitor Food Safety Requirements

The course applies to individuals who work are required to monitor and control food safety hazards and respond to non-conformance, particularly for the health and community sectors. This course is particularly designed for workers that prepare, provide and serve food to vulnerable people such as the elderly, children and babies, pregnant women, people with medication conditions, immune deficiencies and/or allergies primarily. Participants are required to demonstrate their practical food safety skills and knowledge through a third-party observation form. These assessments can take place in any food handling environment such as commercial kitchens, catering production lines, or food preparation areas that are equipped with standard industry facilities. Observations may occur at the participant's place of work or through volunteering at community centres, sports clubs, or local councils.

Please note: It is essential for students to be employed or to secure a volunteer role in a suitable workplace that can provide a third-party observer. This observer is responsible for witnessing and documenting the student’s practical performance using a third-party report form.
