Food Safety Culture

FOOD SAFETY TRAINING COURSE

Join our 2-hour class LIVE on Zoom to learn the importance of a positive Food safety Culture and how to build, implement, and monitor an effective FSC Plan!

Food safety culture (FSC) can be a fuzzy and sometimes abstract concept. However, it is an important aspect of food safety. In its simplest form, FSC is an approach to food safety based on human behavior. FSC explores the role of human behavior, feelings, and beliefs in creating a food safe environment. FSC builds consistency in upholding food safety practices within the workforce. In this course we will explore the critical role of FSC in going beyond Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) and building a stronger system based on the role of human behavior. During this 2-hour class, you’ll learn the importance of FSC and how to build, implement, and monitor an effective Food Safety Culture Plan.

I liked that the examples used in the presentations were actual situations that a 8D or 5P were done.

I . . . have received more “chair time” in educational/continuing ed classes than I care to count. Rarely have I scored a class this high. . . . The instructor was thorough in his explanations and at the same time not too redundant. The visual aids were excellent and the handouts provided will be put to good use at our facility. I was NOT disappointed. Looking forward to future classes from FSQC. . . .

This course helped me understand CAPA and root cause analysis with new and interesting perspective. The examples were very well selected to help understand the course. . . .
