SUMMARY:Food Recall & Withdrawals Online (November 2020)
DESCRIPTION:“A food recall is either a food manufacturer or suppliers’ voluntary response to a mislabeling\, or potential hazard by removing a product from the market place or it is mandated by the FDA in response to a food safety issue determined. The most common reasons for food recalls are allergen mislabeling and the presence of pathogens. Other reasons behind food recalls include incorrect packaging\, wrong food labels and physical contamination.\nThe importance of having a food recall plan is to ensure quick and efficient removal of affected products from the market plane and to allow the identification of key areas of needed improvement to prevent future hazards. Recall and withdrawal procedures are required for food manufacturers under the final FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rule for “Preventative Controls for Human Foods for hazards requiring control.”

SUMMARY:Team Effectiveness & Team Building
DESCRIPTION:This half day virtual workshop provides participants training in team building and team effectiveness. Team Building & Effectiveness is most often a precursor to a focused team based effort to address specific business areas\, or an integral part of a more comprehensive business improvement strategy. During the class\, basic team concepts are covered including\, but not limited to stages of team development\, roles and responsibilities\, ground rules for acceptable team behavior and team decision making processes.\nTeams have become a principal building block of the strategy of successful organizations. Whether the focus is on service\, quality\, cost\, value\, speed\, efficiency\, performance\, or other similar goals\, teams are the central methodology of most organizations in the private\, non-profit\, and government sectors.\nIn most teams\, the energies of individual members work at cross purposes. Individuals may work extraordinarily hard\, but their efforts do not translate into team effort\, and this results in wasted energy. By contrast\, when a team becomes more aligned\, a commonality of direction emerges\, and individual energies harmonize. You have a shared vision and an understanding of how to complement each others’ efforts.

SUMMARY:Food Safety - Corrective Action (CA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
DESCRIPTION:12/7\, 12/8/2022\nCorrective action (CA) and root cause analysis (RCA) are essential methodologies to address systemic problems in food manufacturing and is designed to improve the effectiveness of procedures in food safety management systems (FSMS).\nIn the first part of the training class\, participants will learn the common methodologies of RCA within the food industry (fishbone diagram\, 5 why’s etc.) and how to apply them during applicable case studies and practical exercises within a food manufacturing operation.\nThe second part of the training class will focus on the implementation of an effective corrective action and preventive action (CAPA) processes including methodologies and evaluation of effectiveness that are applicable to different supply communication channels within the food industry\, i.e. online process vs. in person plan operations. \nBy the end of this training course\, participants will be able to:\n* Explain the objectives of root cause analysis as a procedure to find and evaluate the causes of problems within the food industry\n* Use problem cause data collection tools applicable to food manufacturing\n* Apply appropriate root cause analysis tools to food manufacturing\n* Develop efficient corrective action and preventative action plans for food manufacturing\n* Understand and be able to apply how CA\, CAPA\, and RCA are all managed under FSMS. \nThe participant will receive a certificate of successful completion for the course after passing a written knowledge test following the training course. \nThe course is designed for:\nOperations Staff in food and beverage manufacturing\, packaging\, holding\, handling\, and distributors. This can include the following but is not limited to: Logistics\, Process Engineers\, Quality Engineers\, Plant Managers\, Supervisors\, Food Safety Manager\, Quality Assurance Manager.

SUMMARY:OSHA 10-Hour Card Training
DESCRIPTION:12/7 8hrs + 12/8 4hrs\nOSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and is responsible for worker safety and health protection.\nSince its inception in 1970\, OSHA has cut the work-fatality rate by more than half\, reduced the overall injury and illness rates in industries where OSHA has concentrated its attention\, virtually eliminated brown lung disease in the textile industry and reduced trenching and excavation fatalities by 35 percent.\nOSHA is administered through the Department of Labor (DOL). The DOL regulates and enforces more than 180 federal laws. These mandates and the regulations that implement them cover many workplace activities for about 10 million employers and 125 million workers.\nOSHA 10-hour training is the primary method used to train workers on hazard recognition and OSHA safety standards. The OSHA 10-hour course for the general industry is for workers who have jobs related to health care\, electrical\, factory\, warehouse\, manufacturing\, storage and more. This OSHA course covers general industry hazards not specific to those working construction-only jobs. Our OSHA 10-Hour Training course is designed to teach workplace safety and reduce jobsite hazards. Workers will learn about hazard avoidance\, workers’ rights\, filing an OSHA Complaint and more.\nWith successful completion of the class\, participants receive an OSHA construction safety and health 10- hour course completion card.
