Food Safety Supervisor

A Food Safety Supervisor oversees food preparation procedures to ensure a business or operation is conforming to food safety standards. You’ll check that food is handled and stored correctly and make sure staff are adhering to correct techniques when displaying, serving and disposing of food. You might conduct food safety inspections or conduct training in food hygiene practices.

Food Safety Supervisors should have good leadership skills and a strong focus on safety. It’s important you understand current food safety standards and know how to apply them to a range of settings. Food Safety Supervisors must have good observational abilities and excellent attention to detail.
