Tightening the food chain - security guidelines

It is now more important than ever that security becomes a cornerstone of the direction and management of a food company. Cost and a lack of understanding have resulted in many companies being reluctant to address security adequately. Where are the gaps in our systems? Have we failed to spot something? Which guidelines or standards should we use?

Seminar content

This seminar not only covers the requirements for an effective security programme, but it also shows how security can be managed competently by even the small company. The use of principles and procedures for ensuring food quality and personal safety enables directors and senior managers to operate a security programme more easily. The extension of food safety and health and safety responsibilities will often allow companies to develop security programmes that suit them; and to retain control of, and to manage these programmes effectively.

Speakers will cover different areas of concern and approaches relating to farms, factories, human resources, manufacturing processes, site security and road haulage protection. The seminar includes real life case studies and guidelines on protection and operational handling of issues.

Who should attend?

The seminar is aimed at all businesses involved in the food supply chain - including growers, manufacturers, retailers, food service operators, and those involved in transport and the manufacturing of equipment and packaging. It will be of interest to site and factory managers in all areas, including those involved in human resources.
