HLTSS00061 Food Safety Supervision Skill Set - For Community Services And Health Industries

This Skill Set is designed for individuals who function as Food Safety Supervisors (Levels 1 & 2 combined) and are tasked with managing the day-to-day execution of the food safety program across an organisation, particularly in the Community and Health Service sector. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of a Food Safety Supervisor, explaining the food safety process and the critical measures necessary to maintain safe food handling consistently. The course specifically addresses methods for controlling food hazards at crucial control points, including receipt, storage, preparation, processing, display, servery, packaging, transport, and disposal of food.

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. *IMPORTANT: A NSW FSS certificate will not be issued upon completion of this Skill Set.
