What makes a successful food safety professional? Many will say ‘technical competence’ as a minimum but what about other complimentary skills and personal attributes? The challenge for food safety professionals today is maintaining not only the technical competence from their initial studies, but to actively improve and enhance the ‘not-so-obvious’ skills and attributes over the span of their career.

Join us in this presentation as we demonstrate how committing to a path of ongoing learning and professional development contributes to career success.

Find out how to identify your current gaps, recognise the value of personal improvement and implement a career plan to help you become the ultimate food safety professional. The session will also provide tools and takeaways to help participants succeed regardless of their current role, or their food safety, quality or compliance responsibilities.

Learning Objectives

By the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify GAPs in their current knowledge, skills and personal attributes
• Recognise the value of continuing professional development outside of technical competence
• Start to map a career plan to become the ultimate food safety professional

How to make food safety training fun and effective? Let's start by replacing the term "training" with the term "learning". Employees aren't circus elephants nor marathon runners. They don't need to be trained. They need to be taught and educated. Their competence is a strategic asset, without which food companies along the value chain are jeopardizing consumers health and wellbeing.

In this Webinar we will share valuable ideas on how to make the learning experience in food establishments enjoyable, memorable and effective for our employees.

In this presentation we will discuss lessons learned and success in implementing serialization in the pharma industry and how they can be applied in the food and beverage industries.

Preventive Maintenance is a must to have Pre-Requisite Program if you want to be certified under a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standard. However, a Preventive Maintenace Program is much more than a requirement. Proper maintained equipment allows that the plant runs smoothly, which creates cost savings in the long run. It also prevents equipment from becoming a source for the introduction of hazards due to the lack of of performance (i.e. not achieving operational limits that prevent from falling below critical limits) or integrity (i.e. source of metal shavings) This seminar will focus on describing the properties of a Preventive Maintenance Program and how they relate to the maintenance of Food Safety.
