ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management Systems Awareness Training Course

Consumers are becoming more and more concerned about food safety. From tainted milk to contaminated peanut butter, food scares and recalls have been ever-present over the past several years. Extended global supply chains and lack of adherence to global safety standards are partly to blame. As manufacturers and retailers make efforts to address deficiencies in their supply chains, and multiple safety standards and schemes are proposed and adopted, progress is being made to ensure global food safety.

FSSC 22000 contains a complete certification scheme for Food Safety Systems based on the food safety standard ISO 22000:2005 'Requirements for any organization in the food chain' and ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 Prerequisite programs on food safety for food manufacturing.

The introduction to ISO/TS 22002-1: 2009 is covered in this awareness course to train all participants to understand the specification in detail.

ISO 22000:2005 sets out specific food safety requirements for organisations in the food chain. One such requirement is that oganisations establish, implement and maintain pre-requisite programmes (PRP) to assist in controlling food safety hazards (ISO 22000:2005, Clause 7.2). ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 is intended to be used to support management systems designed to meet the requirements specified in ISO 22000:2005, and sets out the detailed requirements for those programmes. All required relevant procedures, records and internal audits shall cover these details to achieve certification to ISO 22000 standard including ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 which is intended to bring the ISO 22000 standard technical details to a level of detail that is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

ISO/TS 22002-1: 2009 is introduced with ISO 22000 standards to assist organization to implement the pre-requisite programmes (PRPs) effectively within the food industries. All food Industries can benefit on acquiring good knowledge of the full GMP requirements defined in the ISO/TS 22002-1: 2009.

ISO/TS 22002-1: 2009 is applicable to all organisations, regardless of size or complexity, as well as to all who are involved in the manufacturing step of the food chain and who wish to implement PRPs.

Participants will be introduced to the ISO/TS 22002-1: 2009 requirements in this training course and they will be able to enhance their current pre-requisite and hygiene programme.

This is an awareness course designed to provide understanding to personnel in food industries to gain knowledge on the new specification implemented in Food Safety Management System  and  new requirements in addition to ISO 2200O:2005 standard.  Managers, executives, supervisors and those who are responsible for food manufacturing and food safety processes in their workplaces will find this course useful.
