Description
Small and medium sized food businesses are scrambling to make sure they’ve got things in place to meet new standards, regulations and expectations. But having documentation about management commitment to food safety doesn’t mean they’ve got food safety culture under control. Management commitment to food safety is important, but work unit commitment to food safety is what drives food safety behaviour and the work unit is where food safety culture really shows.
Walk away from this workshop with some actions to advance your food safety culture and be better prepared for your next food safety audit.
