How It Works

What the Programme Covers

Six modules, taught live and 1-on-1 in the order below. Every module is worked through on your own site, products and markets, so the examples are yours from the first session.

  1. 1

    What food safety culture means

    The GFSI definition, the dimensions of culture and why regulators and schemes now ask for it.

  2. 2

    Measuring culture

    Surveys, interviews, observation and maturity models, and how to get honest answers from your team.

  3. 3

    Leadership and communication

    How managers show commitment, how to set expectations and the messages and channels that reach the shop floor.

  4. 4

    Behaviour, training and engagement

    Why people break rules, how to design training that changes behaviour, and how to reward the right habits.

  5. 5

    Tracking progress

    Culture metrics, linking culture to complaints, audit results and near misses, and reporting to management review.

  6. 6

    Your site's culture plan

    An assessment of your own site and a written culture plan with goals, owners and dates, ready for your next audit.

The Regulations and Standards We Teach Against

  • InternationalThe GFSI position paper on food safety culture (2018) and the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969), which added management commitment to food safety culture in its 2020 revision.
  • EURegulation (EU) 2021/382, which added food safety culture to Regulation (EC) 852/2004.
  • UKRetained Regulation 852/2004 and the Food Safety Act 1990, with culture requirements driven by the GFSI schemes that UK retailers ask for.
  • US21 CFR Part 117 and the FDA New Era of Smarter Food Safety blueprint, which names food safety culture as a core element.
  • CanadaThe Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, where culture supports the preventive control plan under Part 4.
  • Australia and New ZealandFSANZ Standard 3.2.2A Food Safety Management Tools and the Food Standards Code.
  • GFSI schemesThe culture clauses of BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9, IFS Food Version 8, FSSC 22000 Version 6 and the SQF Food Safety Code.

How We Tailor It to You

We start with a culture survey of your own team, run before the first session. The plan you write in Module 6 answers the gaps that survey finds, in your words and for your site.
