The Food Safety Supervisor is responsible for ensuring that their premises engage in best practices regarding safe food handling.
The NSW Food Safety Regulations stipulate that hospitality businesses in NSW need to have a designated Food Safety Supervisor within their organisation.
Every food business must have at least one designated Food Safety Supervisor per premises. This person is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day implementation of food safety in the workplace and must be trained in the right way.
Legislation requires refresher training every five (5) years.
