The final rules on the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Foods establish training requirements for carrier personnel engaged in food transportation operations.   Training certificates are available for these topics:

1. Responsibilities of the carrier under the final rules (1 hour)
2. Awareness of potential food safety problems that may occur during food transportation (1 hour)
3. Basic sanitary transportation practices to address those potential problems (1 hour)

This training is not “maybe” training but is REQUIRED for all personnel engaged in transportation operations upon hiring and as needed thereafter.

This required training is now offered by the Sanitary Cold Chain and is available as webinars or in download packages for use with your employees.  

The FDA defines a carrier as a “person who owns, leases, or is otherwise ultimately responsible for the use of a motor vehicle or rail vehicle to transport food. The carrier is responsible for all functions assigned to a carrier in this sub-part even if they are performed by other persons, such as a driver that is employed or contracted by a trucking firm. A carrier may also be a receiver or a shipper if the person also performs the functions of those respective persons as defined in this sub-part.” 

The new law was published on April 6, 1016, which mean there is little time left for perishable food carrier operations to provide this required, certificated training to all personnel.

2-Day On Site Management Planning Training

Our 2-day management training has been conducted in a number of major US cities with railroad, processor, carrier and packer attendees.  The training focuses on providing managers with compliance training certificates and is designed to lead them through the planning and implementation processes.  

The training is led by Dr. John Ryan, author of "Guide to Food Safety and Quality During Transportation 2nd Edition (see below).
