Eighty years ago, NSF was founded with the primary objective of establishing guidelines for the design and manufacturing of equipment and supplies in a manner that ensures safety. These guidelines, now referred to as 'The Standards,' are aimed at facilitating the use of safe materials and ensuring that the end products are easily cleanable. In this webinar, we'll delve into a brief history of NSF as well as provide a broad overview of the various certifications it offers. This includes certifications for food equipment, 'Safer Green' chemicals, and food-grade lubricants. Furthermore, we'll explore the impact of these standards on hospitality operators, health departments, manufacturers, inventors, and other stakeholders within the industry.

Explore the fundamental role of internal auditing in driving ongoing organizational enhancement. The webinar will cover best practices, real-world examples, challenges, and future trends, emphasizing internal auditing as a powerful catalyst for sustained performance improvement.

Ever wonder what the main differentiator is for x-ray detection? It all lies in the detector, but not all detectors are created equally. Selecting the right detector technology depends on the application specifications and the desired outcome, along with other variables. To get the best detection for your production line it is important to determine what these variables are to then configure the right solution. Join this live webcast with Steve Dowd, our industry expert, as he outlines the intricacies of detector technology, the factors that must be taken into consideration prior to investing and the true value-added benefit it can bring to your production line.

This webinar addresses the critical intersection between evolving climate conditions and food safety concerns. This seminar aims to explore how changes in global climate patterns are influencing the safety and quality of food supplies. Key topics include the effects of rising temperatures and extreme weather events on food production, the increased risk of foodborne illnesses, and challenges in food storage and transportation. The webinar will also delve into adaptive strategies for the agriculture and food industry to mitigate these risks, ensuring food safety in a changing climate. This session is particularly relevant for professionals in food production, environmental science, public health, and policy-making, providing them with insights and tools to navigate the emerging challenges posed by climate change to food safety.

No matter how well our management systems are established and implemented, occasional incidents are to be expected – and when they do, it is our responsibility to explore the roots of nonconformity, and uproot them to prevent reoccurrence. Too often, such incident investigations fail to identify true root causes and we end up with superficial remedies such as “retrain” and “refresh procedures”. Getting to the bottom of adverse incidents requires a deep understanding of risk management, human factors and problem solving methods.

In this webinar we will be exposed to a proven method for identifying root causes and important insights crucial to an effective outcome.
