The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) requires food establishments to employ at least one certified food protection manager (CFPM). A certified food protection manager may only be the designated CFPM for one establishment at a time. Whenever a CFPM will not be on-site, they must designate a person in charge to oversee food safety in their absence. CFPMs must earn their certification through an approved accredited provider and renew their credentials every five years.
