Lone chairs the GFSI Technical Working Group on Food Safety Culture and has 15 years’ experience in this area of work within the food industry. The course delivers an excellent explanation of the dimensions relating to food safety culture, and practical examples of how real companies have used measurement and planning to improve a culture of food safety throughout their organizations.
