All food handlers need to know how the work they do can affect the safety of the food they handle.
The Australian Food Safety Standard 3.2.2 (Food Safety Practices and General Requirements) requires that people who handle food must have the appropriate skills and knowledge for the work they do.
Food handlers need to know:
• how to locate and follow workplace information about their own food handling operations
• how to identify and correct (or report) situations or procedures that do not meet the business’s food safety obligations
• who to report food safety issues to within the business; and
• their responsibilities in relation to health and hygiene requirements.
