Food safety in warehousing and transport

One day to control food safety where the factory no longer sees it: at receipt, in storage, during picking and in transport. Hazards and cross-contamination, warehouse prerequisite programmes, temperatures, allergens, vehicle cleanliness and food defence are covered using your own warehouse and flows. The course links to your customers' requirements and to the storage and distribution standards.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to be certified to attend this course?

No. It suits any warehouse or carrier handling foodstuffs, certified or not. It also meets the training requirements that manufacturers set for their logistics providers.

How does it differ from HACCP training?

HACCP training deals with the hazard analysis of a manufacturing process. This course deals with products already packed or in bulk during storage and transport, with the practices of the dock and the driver.

Should drivers take part?

It is useful for the transport part: checking the vehicle body before loading, temperatures, seals, what to do in an incident. A session can bring dock teams and drivers together.
