Non-Accredited Food Safety

Non-Accredited Food Safety

This is a non-accredited course for those who have previously undertaken similar training and would like to refresh and update their skills.

This course is also applicable to those who are not required to undertake nationally recognised training but are seeking casual work in hospitality, retail, health and community care and are required to be aware of food handling requirements.

 COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS

 Standard 3.2.2A – Food handler training requires food service, caterer and related retail businesses in Australia to meet new food handler training requirements from December 2023.

Standard 3.2.2.A – 10 requires that each food handler who handles unpackaged, potentially hazardous food that is ready to eat, has, before engaging in that activity: 

a) completed a food safety training course; or 

b) adequate skills and knowledge in food safety and hygiene to do that activity correctly and keep food safe.

The business must also have a certified food safety supervisor to supervise food handlers.

These requirements are in place because unpackaged potentially hazardous foods are open to contamination by harmful microorganisms or other hazards immediately before the food is served and eaten, so need careful handling.

If you work as a food handler, including as a casual, you are required to have completed a ‘food safety training course’.

If you are a food handler, are you up to date with Standard 3.2.2A?  Whilst there is no specific timeframe or refresher period has been set for food handlers, businesses need to make sure their food handlers’ skills and knowledge is adequate and up to date. It is best practice to schedule regular refresher training.

This course covers all the requirements to meet the requirements of a food handler under Standard 3.2.2A. Are you confident in the handling of unpackaged potentially hazardous foods
