A free staff food-safety training record — track who has been trained, in what, and when refreshers are due, supporting Standard 3.2.2A. Free PDF.
Under Standard 3.2.2A, food handlers in certain businesses must have food safety skills and knowledge appropriate to their work, and many businesses need a certified Food Safety Supervisor. Requirements vary by state and business type, so confirm the specifics with your local council or state regulator.
A Food Safety Supervisor is a nominated person with recognised training who oversees safe food handling in the business and can direct and correct staff. Many food businesses handling unpackaged, ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous food are required to have one. Recording their certification and its currency is part of good compliance.
Training records show council and auditors that your staff have the food safety skills and knowledge required, and that your Food Safety Supervisor obligations are met. They also help you manage refreshers and recertification, and demonstrate due diligence if a food safety issue is ever investigated.
This depends on the role, but commonly includes food handler skills and knowledge covering safe handling, temperature control, cleaning and hygiene, plus allergen awareness. Supervisors typically need recognised Food Safety Supervisor training. Match the training to what each person actually does and confirm requirements with your regulator.
There is no single national interval for all training, and some certifications have their own renewal periods. Regular refreshers are good practice to keep knowledge current, especially after process or menu changes. Check your state's rules for Food Safety Supervisor recertification and set refresher dates in your register.
