SUMMARY:PSA Grower Training Anacortes
DESCRIPTION:Produce Safety Alliance (PSA) was tasked with developing the standardized national produce safety training program to prepare fresh produce growers to meet the regulatory requirements in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule. The PSA has developed two types of training courses: Grower Training Course and Train-the-Trainer Course. \nWho Should Attend \nFruit and vegetable growers and others interested in learning about produce safety\, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule\, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs)\, and co-management of natural resources and food safety. The PSA Grower Training Course is one way to satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement outlined in § 112.22(c) that requires ‘At least one supervisor or responsible party for your farm must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.’ \n\nWhat to Expect at the PSA Grower Training Course \nThe trainers will spend approximately seven hours of instruction time covering content contained in these seven modules: \n\nIntroduction to Produce Safety\nWorker Health\, Hygiene\, and Training\nSoil Amendments\nWildlife\, Domesticated Animals\, and Land Use\nAgricultural Water (Part I: Production Water; Part II: Postharvest Water)\nPostharvest Handling and Sanitation\nHow to Develop a Farm Food Safety Plan\n\nIn addition to learning about produce safety best practices\, key parts of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements are outlined within each module. There will be time for questions and discussion\, so participants should come prepared to share their experiences and produce safety questions. \n\nBenefits of Attending the Course \nThe course will provide a foundation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and co-management information\, FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements\, and details on how to develop a farm food safety plan. Individuals who participate in this course are expected to gain a basic understanding of: \n\nMicroorganisms relevant to produce safety and where they may be found on the farm\nHow to identify microbial risks\, practices that reduce risks\, and how to begin implementing produce safety practices on the farm\nParts of a farm food safety plan and how to begin writing one\nRequirements in the FSMA Produce Safety Rule and how to meet them.\n\nAfter attending the entire course\, participants will be eligible to receive a certificate from the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) that verifies they have completed the training course. To receive an AFDO certificate\, a participant must be present for the entire training and submit the appropriate paperwork to their trainer at the end of the course. \nCosts to Attend \nTotal costs to attend the PSA Grower Training Course is $35. Funding from the WSDA (grant #5U18005913-03) greatly reduced the cost of training. \nAdditional Information \nFor more information about scheduled PSA Grower Training Courses\, please visit the WSU Produce Safety Website at http://foodsafety.wsu.edu/training-programs/psagtandttt/.

SUMMARY:PSA Grower Training – Richland
DESCRIPTION:The Produce Safety Alliance (PSA) was tasked with developing the standardized national produce safety training program to prepare fresh produce growers to meet the regulatory requirements in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule. \nThe PSA Grower Training Curriculum was created through a four-year nationwide development process. In 2011\, after hosting an international gathering to review current educational resources\, the PSA launched ten\, open Working Committees (WCs)\, composed of one hundred seventy-eight unique members from academia\, agriculture\, industry\, and regulatory agencies. The WCs identified key areas and learning objectives to be addressed in the grower curriculum. Additionally\, grower preferences regarding produce safety training programs were collected by hosting eight in-person farmer focus groups nationwide\, collecting feedback from eighty-nine produce growers. In 2015 and 2016\, the PSA also engaged with the FDA Division of Produce Safety staff to align the curriculum content with the final FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements and incorporate the regulatory language throughout the curriculum modules and teaching notes. The seven module PSA Grower Training Course was designed to be delivered in one day. \nFruit and vegetable growers and others interested in learning about produce safety\, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule\, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs)\, and co-management of natural resources and food safety. The PSA Grower Training Course is one way to satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement outlined in § 112.22(c) that requires ‘At least one supervisor or responsible party for your farm must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.’

The WCs identified key areas and learning objectives to be addressed in the grower curriculum. Additionally\, grower preferences regarding produce safety training programs were collected by hosting eight in-person farmer focus groups nationwide\, collecting feedback from eighty-nine produce growers. In 2015 and 2016\, the PSA also engaged with the FDA Division of Produce Safety staff to align the curriculum content with the final FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements and incorporate the regulatory language throughout the curriculum modules and teaching notes. The seven module PSA Grower Training Course was designed to be delivered in one day. \nFruit and vegetable growers and others interested in learning about produce safety\, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule\, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs)\, and co-management of natural resources and food safety. The PSA Grower Training Course is one way to satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement outlined in § 112.22(c) that requires ‘At least one supervisor or responsible party for your farm must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.’
