No time for food safety training
A survey of food manufacturers around the world shows that the biggest barrier to proper food safety training is finding the time to do it. The Global Food Safety Training Survey 2013, published by a partnership of four food safety support companies, includes feedback from 649 food and drink producers around the world.
Over 70% cited ‘scheduling time for training’ as a barrier to properly educating employees about best food safety practices. Other barriers included ‘lack of ability to verify that training is effective’ (43%), ‘difficulty delivering training in appropriate languages’ (28%), ‘lack of training resources’ (24%) and ‘difficulty developing a curriculum’ (24%).
