Workshop topics include process control, sanitation, sanitary design, environmental monitoring, investigations, corrective actions, and critical information to help processors stay up to date on regulatory issues and changes.
This training will outline how to proactively use alternative methods to control hazardous energy and keep team members safe. This training will outline the strategic differences between utilizing current state of the art alternative methods via ANSI Z244.1 standard on the control of hazardous energy and OSHA standards on Lockout/Tagout (LOTO). This training will give practical knowledge on how and when to employ LOTO and when Alternative Methods would be ideal. The training will discuss lessons learned in Design Safe's work through a variety of industries.
This workshop will provide an in-depth overview of the 10 Principles of Food Safety Design and how to apply these principles in processing facilities. The Food Safety Design Principles were expanded in 2021 by the Food Safety Equipment Design Task Force (FSEDTF), a group of representatives from equipment manufacturers with insight from meat and poultry companies. The expanded principles encompass all aspects of food safety, focusing on foreign material mitigation.
The annual Protein PACT (People, Animals, Climate of Tomorrow) Summit is the premier event for meat industry leaders from across the animal protein value chain to gather for education, thought-provoking discussion, and networking as we work toward the bold goals of the Protein PACT and move the industry forward in its commitment in sustainability, animal welfare, nutrition, and more.
