Webinar: Safety Chain Food Safety & Quality Leadership Series – 2013, “How to Pass Your SQF Audit with Flying Colors”
San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) August 14, 2013 -- On September 20, 2013, SafetyChain Software of San Rafael, CA, will host a free 60-minute webinar entitled “How to Pass Your SQF Audit with Flying Colors.” The featured guest speaker will be HACCP Consulting Group Vice President Cathy Crawford. The session will be moderated by SafetyChain SVP and co-founder Barbara Levin.
The webinar, sponsored by Global Food Safety Resource will focus on new SQF Editions and how companies can meet the inherent challenges of continuous change and be audit ready for continuous SQF certification status.
SQF is becoming increasingly popular as food and beverage companies strive to have consistent safety standards and prepare for regulatory requirements such as FSMA. Changing regulations along with audit responsibilities can put extra demands on already over-worked food safety and quality groups. Compliance software, such as the type provided by SafetyChain, can help food producers meet these increasing monitoring and reporting demands, reduce work load on client personnel, and improve overall competitiveness.
During the webinar, Cathy Crawford will address key components of SQF audits, including training, continuous improvement, management commitment HACCP/SOPs, and vendor approval programs. She will also discuss documentation and record keeping requirements, program review and modifications, verification and validation, and key components of facility performance and scoring systems.
