This program provides participants with a set of skills to work hygienically when handling food and supervising the safety of food during its storage, preparation, display, service and disposal.

Food safety legislative and knowledge requirements may differ across borders. Those developing training to support specific units of competency must consult the relevant state or territory food safety authority to determine any accreditation arrangements for courses, trainers and assessors.
