7 Best Practices to Improve Food Safety Culture
 

Presented by:
Brita Ball, PhD, Principal Consultant, Advancing Food Safety Culture 

 

Taking place:

Friday, May 29, 2015 (03:00 PM - 04:00 PM GMT).  This is a 10 a.m. EDT Start.
 
Food safety culture is being called an emerging risk in the food industry. Progress in the food safety arena has traditionally been led by research in the natural sciences – a comfortable field for most food safety and quality assurance professionals – but a food safety culture doesn’t grow in a lab. What is a culture of food safety? What influences it? How can it be measured? What are the challenges and implications related to it? This presentation will provide insight into the science of organizational culture and introduce best practices that could make a positive difference to a food safety culture.

Dipendra asked: Is Food Safety Culture a general practice or an another certification? Having a strong food safety culture as a general practice could support your business in maintaining food safety standard or certification; it is not another certification by itself.  

 

Alia asked: Is there any structured program to build a food safety culture in the workplace: I am developing something. I'm not aware of any that are publicly available.

 

Several people asked for the tool(s) to measure food safety culture: Please email me brita[at]fsculture.com to discuss what  is available and how the different tools might fit your needs.The publicly available tools won't work in all situations. This is a new area of research and more tools may become available.

 

Gayan asked: Can you arrange a separate webinar on measuring food safety culture using those statistical modelling techniques in future please? Any statistical analysis you would do will depend on the purpose of the study, the type of data you collect, and other factors. Developing and validating an appropriate tool needs to happen first. Food safety culture in a new field, so tools are still being developed and tested.            

 

Cory asked: Are you doing correlation relationships or ANOVA? For the model shown in the webinar, I used structural equation modelling which requires that you specify a model before you start (a priori) and then analyze the data to see how it fits the model. SEM is roughly a form of factor analysis and a form of multi-level regression; it is a confirmatory technique so requires an a priori model. Covariance and correlation matrices gave the relationships between the variables. 

 

Christa asked: How do I express to my clients that it is truly important to have a FSC and protect our consumer?  Remember that every food company has a food safety culture. The way you would approach senior management about the value of improving the food safety culture will depend on management's perspective and approach to business. An approach that works for one may not work for another. Return on investment, brand protection, and financial risk management are some angles you could consider. 

 

Regards,

Brita
