Workshop Overview
When it comes to food safety, maintenance staff are the unsung heroes. From validating equipment to keeping hazards under control, ensuring hygienic design, and sticking to factory food safety rules—maintenance makes or breaks a safe production line.
This course is designed to give maintenance and engineering teams the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to play their part in producing safe food.
Because here’s the truth: poorly managed maintenance can introduce risks. But when done right, it becomes a powerful safeguard. This workshop unpacks the “why” and “how,” showing just how big of an impact maintenance has on food safety.
Learning is made fun & practical
At Progress Excellence, we do training a little differently. Whether it’s food safety, quality, health and safety, environmental, or laboratory systems – we make sure it’s practical, relevant, and easy to put into action.
We use real, sector-specific examples so the content actually makes sense in your world. Our sessions are interactive and hands-on, with activities that help turn theory into something you can apply straight away.
Plus, we share ready-to-use templates and implementation plans to make your job easier. Our goal? To give you the skills and confidence to not just understand the requirements, but to actually apply them and improve your systems in a meaningful way.
The Progress Excellence Approach
We keep it hands-on, engaging, and practical:
🛠️ Interactive activities, real-world photos, and case-based exercises.
💡 Insights from experienced facilitators who know what works in the food industry.
📋 Step-by-step guidance aligned with top international standards.
