SUMMARY:Food Safety - Food Defense
DESCRIPTION:Food Defense is the effort to protect food from acts of intentional adulteration. The FDA issued the final rule in May 2016 on mitigation strategies to protect food against “Intentional Adulteration”\, which requires applicable facilities to formulate and implement food defense plans. The purpose of the food defense plan is to prevent food products being adulterated from any source inside or outside the company. Such acts intended to cause wide-spread harm to public health\, including but not limited to acts of terrorism intending to target food supply\, could cause illness\, death and economic turmoil to the food supply. Implementing an effective food defense plan will allow for the prevention\, protection against\, mitigation\, response time and recovery from any intentional adulteration of our food supply. Furthermore\, food defense is already a requirement for all GFSI accredited Food Safety Management Systems (SQF\, BRC etc.).

SUMMARY:Food Safety - cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) Requirements and Readi
DESCRIPTION:Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) Regulations is the process that ensures the quality of a product by establishing manufacturing procedures making certain that food is safe and has been prepared\, packed\, and stored under hygienic conditions.\nFood manufacturers must comply with cGMP’s through new regulations to be compliant with FSMA.\ncGMP’s are critical\, not only to FSMA\, but to every food safety and quality certification.\nThey are audited by third party food safety auditors and are considered prerequisites.\nThe training will cover the core requirements\, changes to former requirements and best practices on how to achieve compliance. Participants will learn how to handle FDA and third party Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspections. The training will also outline how to interact effectively with investigators so that organizations can not only react to inspections\, but anticipate them as well. \nThe participants will learn and understand the revised (cGMP’s) – according to the final rule for “Preventive Controls for Human Food”\, released on September 17th\, 2015. \nBy the end of the training course\, participants will be able to:\nUnderstand the components and requirements of cGMP within the food and beverage industry.\nImplement cGMP through the organization to ensure sanitary and processing requirements are being met.

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: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.
