Pest Control Program for Food Processing Facilities

This training program will illustrate the role and responsibilities of an efficient well-rounded pest control manager. It will highlight various types of pest control programs and discuss mandatory records to be maintained for compliance.

Why Should You Attend:

The importance of a pest control program is often understated by some food processing facilities. Some manage the program themselves, and some hire third party contractors, and so have the hybrid of the two. Which one is the best practice and can control the pests in your facility to acceptable levels and remain the most cost effective?

With newly revised sets of regulations from FDA, in the Food Safety Modernization Act, every food processing company is affected and everyone wants to know how to be in compliance, making great safe food, while keeping the costs down. This course will guide attendees in developing an easy but complete pest control program that will be in compliance with all regulatory guidelines, or ensure your hired pest control company is following it to ensure they are in compliance and therefore you are.
