SOME ACTIONABLE RECOMMENDATIONS –RE: FOOD SAFETY
Other quality practices, e.g., attention to process controls & consciousness of one’s responsibility toalways meet food safety standards, should be part of a Company-wide advocacy of food safety.
RECOMMENDATION: SET UP A WORKPLACE COOPERATION PROGRAM !
Communication & participation: basic underpinnings of WPC
• WPC - a forum wherein employees and management can express their problems and felt needs to each other.
• Information-sharing about present and anticipated issues that may affect the workforce, the company or both.
• Regular interchanges can lead to mutual understanding, consensus, and the resolution of issues and concerns.
