General Information

All food handlers are required to have appropriate skills in food safety and food hygiene in accordance with their work activity.

To assist food handlers from English and non English speaking backgrounds, Food Standards Australia New Zealand some years ago produced fact sheets in various languages which can be accessed and downloaded at http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/newsroom/factsheets/foodsafetyfactsheets/index.cfm.

The fact sheets include:

  • Food Business Notification
  • Food Handling Skills
  • Food Recall Systems
  • Health and Hygiene - Food Businesses
  • Health and Hygiene - Food Handlers
  • New Food Safety Standards Brochure
  • Receiving Food Safely
  • Temperature Control
  • Thermometers

This section also contains helpful food safety downloads, available at right, that encompass a broad range of important topics ranging from advisory and operational matters.
