SUMMARY:CAPAs-CARs-Root Cause Analysis Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This 4-hour\, activity-driven workshop culminates in a mock audit simulation and is designed specifically for food production teams looking to strengthen their systems and succeed in audits aligned with GFSI-benchmarked standards. Rather than just a lecture\, participants engage in hands-on exercises using real-world scenarios\, justifying their decisions\, building upon their skills to identify true root cause(s)\, implement effective corrective and preventive actions\, and produce actionable documentation. The result is a more confident team\, proactive food safety culture\, fewer repeat nonconformances\, and CARs that stand up to auditor scrutiny. Remember – If you didn’t document it\, it didn’t happen! \nObjectives: \n\nStrengthen participants’ ability to differentiate symptoms from root causes\nImprove the effectiveness of internal investigations\nDevelop skills for creating clear\, defensible documentation\nFoster a proactive food safety culture\nBuild confidence and readiness for audits\n\nWhat’s Included: \n\nPrinted copy of the presentation\nSwag bag!\nSafe Food Alliance Certificate upon successful completion of the course\nCoffee is provided\n\n  \nWho Should Attend: \nInternal auditors\, PCQIs\, food safety and quality assurance managers\, SQF Practitioners\, BRCGS Professionals\, cross-functional team members from procurement\, production\, and sales \nCancellation Policy: Cancellations for public training must be made at least 10 business days before the event for a full refund. Requests for refunds 10 business days or less before the training will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee.

SUMMARY:Swabbing 101
DESCRIPTION:Swabbing 101 is designed to give attendees an overall understanding of environmental monitoring and hands-on experience with samples collection. Upon successful completion of the course\, participants will receive a certificate that can be used as a demonstration of competency for GSFI compliance. \nCourse Objectives:\nThis training reviews the definition and significance of environmental monitoring\, the concept of zoning in environmental sampling\, and sampling for the various pathogens and indicators. The instructor discusses the importance of buffers in sample preservation and demonstrates proper swabbing techniques. \nDuring the course\, you receive two practice swabbing exercises and one actual swabbing with an inoculated surface to assess your proficiency in recovering microorganisms. Each of your attempts is recorded in case your swabs are not in the acceptable z score. We can then review your technique and see if you missed something. \nWho Should Attend:\n\nFood Safety and Quality Staff\nProduction Management\nSanitation Staff\nAnyone wanting to improve their swabbing technique\n\n  \nCancellation Policy: Cancellations for public training must be made at least 10 business days before the event for a full refund. Requests for refunds 10 business days or less before the training will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee. No refunds (or credit transfer) will be issued 5 business days or less before the training.
