What is a Food Safety Supervisor (FSS)?

 

A Food Safety Supervisor is a person who:

Ø  Holds an FSS certificate that is no more than five

years old, and

Ø  Is not an FSS for any other food premises or any other mobile catering business, and has the authority to supervise other people handling food and to ensure that the handling is done safely.

Ø  A person holding an FSS certificate will know how to recognise, prevent and alleviate the hazards associated with the handling of food.

Who can be a Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) ?

 

The Food Safety Supervisor is nominated by the owner of a food business and may be the business owner, manager, employee (eg chef) or an external contractor

(eg a person contracted to perform food service operations as part of a food business), provided they meet the criteria detailed on the previous page.

For a small business, it may be most appropriate for the business owner to be the FSS.

 

Role of businesses

 

Ø Appoint at least one trained Food Safety Supervisor per premises (or per business

for mobile caterers).

Ø Ensure the Food Safety Supervisor obtains a Food Safety Supervisor certificate

(by completing Food Safety Supervisor  training or by submitting an FSS

certificate request form).

Ø Keep a copy of the Food Safety Supervisor certificate on the premises at all times.

 

Ø Notify the relevant enforcement agency of the details of their Food Safety Supervisor,

    or any changes to these details, within seven days.

 

Ø Ensure the Food Safety Supervisor certificate is Valid for five (5) years from being issued.
