Food Safety Focus | Importance of Training

Food Safety Focus

Hello All! 

I hope this message finds all of you and your families safe and well.

This food safety focus will be on the importance of Training. 

What would you do if you were about to take off in a plane and the pilot came on the radio and said “Attention everyone.  I never got my pilot license, but I watched a video and had a little on the job training.  Good news is even though we were busy; we are taking off on time!?”  Even though it’s good to leave on time, I would still leave the plane immediately and never use that airline again!  

How about putting people on forklifts and pallet jacks without proper training time and supervision to work around team members and handle food products?  This would be dangerous for the team members and for the food products being handled.  Proper training is essential in all areas of food safety.

We pride ourselves on being leaders in our industry and the only way to keep that edge is to make sure we are investing time into new team members who come on board.  What we invest in our new team members now, will pay off for them and the company later in the quality of the services we provide our customers and how well we keep team members and food products safe.

Thanks for all you do every day!

Justin
