Hygiene Awareness
Education in the principles of Hygiene control are an essential
part of the BRC requirements for those companies manufacturing and
supplying food grade packaging. Although there are many public courses
available which are aimed at food producers, it will be difficult
to find any which are wholly relevant to the type of manufacturing
environment found within packaging companies. We have therefore
developed some training options to assist companies to quickly and
easily apply a satisfactory level of hygiene awareness to their
employees.
Hygiene Awareness training in-house
For companies wishing to carry out their own training, IHC have
developed a CD-ROM format which can be used for either individuals
or groups.
Individual tuition will allow companies to provide a suitable level
of training to new employees at any time prior to them starting
work instead of waiting until a group can be brought together for
a formal presentation.
The economics of individual staff training, using the spare time
of personnel, will be readily apparent to any Company Manager tasked
with arranging groups of workers outside normal shift hours. Co-ordination
of individual training could also be devolved to Team Leaders if
required, as the expertise is inherent within the programme rather
than an individual.
Suitably linked to a projector, the CD's may also be used for group
presentations if required. Alternatively, the course can be supplied
as a series of transparencies for an OHP at no extra cost.
CD1: Induction training.
Suitable for Category A companies and refresher training for both
Category A & B
An induction into hygiene requirements within a manufacturing environment.
This is aimed at new company staff as part of their general induction.
It will also satisfy the BRC/IoP Standard requirements for general
hygiene training within Category A companies, and refresher training
for Category B. The presentation concludes with an optional examination
which, when successfully navigated, will produce an individual training
record which can be retained in the personnel files
CD2: Basic training.
Suitable for Category B companies.
This training is designed for personnel working under Category B
conditions and fulfils the BRC/IoP requirements for formal basic
training. This CD goes into greater depth on hygiene issues than
the induction training. The presentation concludes with an examination
which, when successfully navigated, will produce an individual training
record which can be retained in the personnel files.

On-site Hygiene Awareness training by IHC
National Foundation Level Training for Course Presenters
1 day (7 hour) course held at client's premises.
Personnel responsible for delivering hygiene training to other company
staff should be qualified to an appropriately higher level. Where
companies wish to present training to groups of workers, we would
recommend that the tutor holds certification to a Nationally recognised
Basic Food Hygiene (Level 1) standard. This is also applies anyone
in the company who, through the nature of their work, requires a
more advanced level of hygiene awareness.
IHC are approved for the provision of such courses and would deliver
the training at your own site, followed by an examination, which
for the successful candidate yields a qualification issued by an
accredited organisation (RSPH, CIEH or REHIS).
Training for Production personnel
If required, International HACCP Certification Ltd., can present
training for Production personnel at the company's own premises,
or at an alternative venue arranged by them. This course essentially
covers the material contained in the training CD's.
Induction level: Category A companies
1 day (Multiple one-hour sessions)
Covers the key rules that all workers must apply to ensure compliance
to the BRC standard. This training takes aproximately 1 hour per
group and multiple sessions can be arranged to suit shift patterns.
A certificate will be issued containing the names of all personnel
who have attended the training sessions.
Basic level: Category B companies
1 day (Multiple two-hour sessions)
The Category B "in depth" training session provided by
IHC will be approximately 2 hours in duration and up to three sessions
can usually be arranged within a day. It is intended to make each
employee aware of the importance of hygiene and their role in preventing
contamination. It is recommended that a maximum of 26 delegates
attend each presentation, which will contain:
- Introduction to hygiene.
- Preventing product contamination.
- Background to the Food Hygiene Regulations. (UK)
- The individual's responsibility.
- Your company's role in the food chain.
There is a short examination which will conclude the presentation.
This will enable both the course effectiveness and delegate performance
to be assessed. International HACCP Certification Ltd will issue
a group certificate listing all delegates who have successfully
undergone training.
