Designing Training Programmes for Workers on Food Safety Standards
An applied course in food safety training built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Variation in food safety training is the enemy; averages conceal it. The cost of poor quality in this area of quality and productivity management is rarely visible in any single budget line. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the quality and productivity management capability to standardise and which to leave flexible. Mature organisations treat food safety training as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The version of this part of quality and productivity management described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of quality and productivity management so that teams can disagree productively about it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about food safety training in their own setting. Participants who influence the quality and productivity management capability without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the quality and productivity management discipline that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Food safety training: cost of poor quality
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Costing poor quality in food safety training
- Measure current variation in food safety training before attempting improvement.
- Benchmark food safety training against a comparable operation and record the gap.
- Apply structured root cause analysis to the top defect in food safety training.
- Map the process behind food safety training by walking it, not by describing it.
Session 2Escalation and decision rights in food safety training
- Check that records of food safety training answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Agree the indicators that will show whether food safety training is improving.
- Test the procedure for food safety training against a realistic scenario.
- Define the trigger that would require food safety training to be redesigned.

Food safety training: mapping the process as actually performed
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Sampling food safety training on evidence rather than convention
- Assemble certification evidence for food safety training as work proceeds, not before the audit.
- Choose productivity measures for food safety training that do not reward shortcuts.
