Food Safety Management Essentials
Course Info
Course Summary
No matter where you are in the food supply chain, whether you produce food, supply food or serve in the food consumption trade, you need to have a deep understanding of food safety. Creating and implementing a food safety policy is a skill that this course will delve into and ensure that when it comes to writing this document, you fully understand the implications. Failing to understand the impact of food safety can leave any organisation, no matter how big or small, open to investing, which can lead to financial and legal penalties if you are found to be in breach of the legislation that is in place.
A large portion of the course will focus on ISO 22000:2005, which is the standard documentation in the principles of Food Safety and the management of all processes within the scope of this legislation. You will learn about Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) and take into account the Code Alimentarius Commission principles. Both national and international regulations will be taken into account. You will learn how to ensure food safety practices and concerns are communicated with everyone in your team, your stakeholders and your endpoint customers. The course will cover why a food safety management system is required and how this is certified and registered. It will look at what documentation is needed to ensure you are conforming to food safety policies and how you can demonstrate that you are in full compliance with the regulations and food safety requirements.

Teaching takes place in a variety of settings including face to face in a classroom environment and will ensure that participants can expand their knowledge of the subject and increase their skill set. The course is delivered via various methods by a specialist tutor. This will include PowerPoint presentations, reviewing articles and other relevant materials, group or individual exercises and discussions. There may be some independent work set, and the course will involve a requirement to submit articles to demonstrate understanding and an end of course test. Note-taking is encouraged, and you are welcome to use electronic devices to do this.
The course manual will form part of the learning but give you references for the future. You are encouraged to ask questions and, if needed, spend time one to one with your tutor to go over any issues. During your time in the classroom, you will be able to network with peers in similar roles.
