New ISO Food Safety Auditor Training in St. Louis Missouri

The First IRCA Certified Lead Auditor Course Taught in the U.S. that Combines ISO 9001:2000 Quality with HACCP to Satisfy ISO 15161 on Food Safety.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) February 20, 2004 -— Bizmanualz, Inc., a management training, consulting and publishing provider based in Clayton, MO., today announced the release of a new 5-day IRCA ISO Food Safety Management System (FSMS) Lead Auditor Training course that combines ISO Auditor certification with HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control point) to satisfy the requirements of ISO 15161.

The auditor training class certifies quality auditors of food industry companies involved in the safe sourcing, processing and packaging of food & drink products. Industries affected include: Airlines, Hospitals, Hotels, Food Producers, Food Packagers, Warehousing, Agricultural Processors (meat, livestock, cattle, hogs, poultry, fish, and other farm products) and Regulatory Enforcement Agencies.

"Recent global news highlighting unsafe food processing, distribution and preparation are creating an increasing demand for standardized food safety training to ensure a safer food supply” explains Christopher Anderson, Managing Director of Bizmanualz, Inc. By integrating the two most popular global standards – ISO 9001 & HACCP – into a single Food Safety Management System, companies will save both the time and expense involved in complying with two different standards.”

Bizmanualz has teamed up with qualified instructors from Business Edge Ltd. to provide ISO Training—worldwide—accredited by IRCA, the world's leading auditor training certification body. IRCA represents industry-accepted benchmark qualifications for professionals involved in the development, implementation and maintenance of management systems (See www.IRCA.org for details).

According to International Standards Organization www.iso.ch) The application of HACCP within an ISO 9001:2000 quality management system can result in a more effective food safety system than the application of either ISO 9001:2000 or HACCP alone leading to enhanced customer satisfaction, improved organizational effectiveness and safer food products” explains Michael Gerard Kelly, President and CEO, Business Edge Ltd.

The FSMS professional program is based on the following standards:
•   ISO 15161:2002 implementation guidelines for ISO 9001:2000 for the food & drink industry
•   ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems requirements
