Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to ensure that food production operations comply with legal requirements that apply to food processing activities and facilities. It does not include requirements related to environmental management, work health and safety and food safety - those areas are covered by other units.The unit applies to individuals who may not be directly responsible for designing procedures for compliance with legislation, but who should be aware of theexistence of legislation, its intent and the arrangements in place to ensure compliance.No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, legislative and regulatory requirements for food processing exist, so local requirements must be checked. All work must comply with Australian food safety standards and relevant codes of practice.
