SITXFSA005 Use Hygienic Practices For Food Safety

Course content

This course is tailored for individuals working in the hospitality, transportation, and distribution sectors. It equips participants with essential skills and knowledge in personal hygiene and basic food safety to prevent food contamination and food-borne illnesses. Participants are required to demonstrate their practical skills and knowledge of food safety procedures through a third-party observation form. This assessment can be conducted in any food handling setting, including commercial kitchens, catering production lines, or food preparation areas equipped with industry-standard equipment for storing, preparing, displaying, serving, and disposing of food. Observations can occur at a workplace, or through volunteer opportunities at community centres, sports clubs, or local councils. It is important to note that students must either be employed in the hospitality sector or secure a volunteer position at a workplace that will provide a third-party observer. This observer is responsible for witnessing and documenting the student’s demonstrations using a third-party report form. Certificates are issued by Allens Training Pty Ltd, RTO 90909.
