New NOS approved
National occupational standard (NOS) for Food Safety in a Logistics Environment have now been approved
The need for these standards has been driven by EU regulations that make it a legal requirement for all businesses that deal with food (i.e., food, drink and animal feeds) to have Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles embedded into their management systems.
Qualifications
These NOS have so far been used to develop a Level 2 Award in Food Safety for Logistics. This is a QCF qualification and is awarded by EDI. Please click on the following links for more information:
