A Breakdown of the Lead Implementer Training
Last Updated on April 19, 2021
ADVANCED RISK OPTIMIZATION
Risk optimized food safety systems allow rapid implementation, focus on recall avoidance, brand protection and more efficient use of your most valuable resources – time and money.
Why choose a new approach?
- Existing food safety training is clause/checklist based – not focused on techniques and tool kits.
- Gap assessments of GFSI and PCQI scheme training has identified very poor trainee feedback.
- Lack of true understanding of risks and controls leads to misdirected money and personnel.

How do we know the approach works?
- The risk optimization approach has been proven effective in several regions globally.
- New graduates, as well as experienced food safety industry personnel, can attest to benefits.
- Small/medium companies appreciate rapid implementation through toolkits and adult learning.
Program outcomes
- Training aligned with ISO 22000:2018, US Food Safety Modernization Act, (FSMA), and the Safe Food for Canadians Act, (SFCA).
- Effective, adult learning format training with tool kits to implement all key elements.
- Advanced, intensive, exclusive RORC Risk Optimization Calculator tool kit to consistently calculate risk and establish control tiers.
- Rigorous supplier approval and supply chain monitoring tool kits and scorecard system.
- Intensive, unique format for risk assessment studies.
- Techniques to develop risk based specifications – internal and supply chain.
- Techniques for using control tiers to streamline procedures and risk control plans.
- Tool kits for control tier based, advanced corrective action, root cause analysis and closure evidence evaluation.
- Advanced tool kits for effective, risk/control tier based, virtual or on-site internal/supplier audit planning, performance and non-conformance closure.
