This course helps you understand the principles and impact of sanitary design so you can assess new equipment and installation design, refine and modify processes, and resolve issues while minimizing the potential for contaminants to be introduced into the facility.

Training covers requirements and industry standards for new equipment design and installation to meet the highest standards of hygiene.

What this course covers

  • Evaluate food plant case studies and scenarios to assess sanitary design

  • Determine the sanitary design requirements for various facility projects and equipment purchases
