Food Defense
2021-10-18 08:30 - 2021-10-19 12:30 UTC
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.).

FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food Course
The final rule for “Preventive Controls for Human Food” which was released in September 2015 to support the implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires food facilities to have a written food safety plan in place that includes an analysis of hazards and risk-based preventive controls to minimize or prevent the identified hazards.
The following course, Preventive Controls for Human Food (PCHF), will go in depth with the requirements for Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls based food safety plan training. Participants will get familiar with all requirements of a Preventive Controls based food safety plan and how to design the plan.
In addition, best practices and examples will be presented and participants can apply the freshly gained knowledge during practical exercises which show how to achieve compliance to the requirements.
By the end of the training course, participants will be able to oversee or perform the following:
Creating a Preventive Controls Food Safety Plan
Validating preventive controls
Reviewing records for implementation and effectiveness
Reviewing corrective actions
Performing required re-analysis of the Food Safety Plan

Virtual - Annual Hazard-Communication Training "Hazwoper Basics"
2021-09-21 09:00 - 11:00, 2021-09-20 09:00 - 11:00 UTC
In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities and hazards of the chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires the development and dissemination of such information:
 Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and safety data sheets to convey the hazard information to their downstream customers;
 All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and safety data sheets for their exposed workers, and train them to handle the chemicals appropriately.
In this course, participants will receive an introduction to Hazardous Materials and become aware of issues that may arise in a manufacturing facility. Participants will learn about safety responsibility as it pertains to facilities, equipment and to personal protection. This course makes participants aware of OSHA, NJ-PEOSHA and NFPA regulations and standards.

OSHA 10-Hour Card Training
2021-09-19 08:00 - 2021-09-20 12:30 (America/New_York)
OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and is responsible for worker safety and health protection.
Since 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.
OSHA 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.
OSHA 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.
With successful completion of the class, participants receive an OSHA construction safety and health 10- hour course completion card.
