Handling Exceptions

The best thing you can do for yourself, and for your employees, is to be prepared.

As food manufacturers, our ultimate goal is to keep food safe. However, no matter how many preventive controls we put in place, mistakes can happen - and they will.

So while it's essential to work hard to prevent incidents from occurring, it's just as important to understand what needs to happen if something does occur.

Through 60 minutes of course content, including practical tools and exercises, this online course looks at which programs are used for different situations and the structure of how to address incidents.
