Unit Information about the SIRRFSA002 training material in this resource
Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to monitor implementation of, and adherence to, a food safety program by coordinating corrective action to ensure compliance with food safety standards; providing support and guidance to team members; and making contributions to the improvement of the food safety program.
It applies to individuals working in roles responsible for the supervision of food handling practices and adherence to food safety programs. They operate with independence and under limited supervision and guidance from others, and within established organisational policies and procedures and relevant legislative requirements.
Food handlers must comply with the requirements contained within the Australia New Zealand Food Standards (ANZFS) Code (the Code).
The legislative requirement for a business to comply with the national standard for food safety practices, along with training and certification requirements, differ between State and Territory Governments. Those developing training to support this unit must consult the relevant state or territory food safety authority to determine any accreditation arrangements for courses, trainers and assessors.
