General Food Hygiene & Safety Online Training

The Australian Food Safety Standard 3.2.2 (Food Safety Practices and General Requirements) states that anyone who handles food must have the necessary skills and knowledge in food safety and hygiene specific to their work.

This course provides food handlers with the skills and knowledge required to meet these standards.

Handling food goes beyond just cooking. It includes various activities such as food manufacturing, processing, preparing (like chopping, cooking, or thawing), delivering, and even cleaning equipment that comes into contact with food. Every one of these tasks plays a crucial role in keeping food safe.

The course covers two broad categories of skills and knowledge:

General Practices:

• Personal hygiene practices that all food handlers must know and apply.
• Food handling practices to prepare and store food correctly.
• Hygiene practices to keep food premises and equipment clean and well-maintained.

Specific Practices:

• Skills and knowledge needed for more specific food handling tasks, such as receiving food, cooking, reheating, cooling, and disposal of food.
