The traditional approach to managing food safety will not get you to excellence

Why not? Well, historically, managing compliance has been based on food science. The focus is on meeting minimum standards as laid down in legislation and best practice. Control is maintained by ensuring adherence to a food safety management programme, based on hazard analysis principles. People coordinate to manage risk, carry out inspections, audits, training and react to non-conformances.

What's wrong with the 'old' way of working?
What's wrong with the 'old' way of working?
It’s an outdated strategy. It’s unsuccessful because it fails to take into account a critical factor – people. Your food safety management system is important of course. But its only part of the solution. Challenges of the 21st century require us to find new, innovative ways to solve old problems.

Is there a better approach?
Most definitely….. YES.
You need to focus your vision away from meeting minimum standards of legal compliance. Concentrate instead on strengthening your company’s existing food safety culture. Yes, you heard that correctly – your existing culture. You will have one! No need to create your culture from scratch (despite whatever nonsense you’ve read elsewhere).

How will focusing on food safety culture work?
When your food safety performance is stuck, you are unable to move your business to the next level. You are stuck on a plateau that is caused by unresolved barriers. To breakthrough those barriers you need to better understand the causes and conditions of the problem. To do this you must focus squarely on your people – their attitudes, beliefs and observable behaviours.

How soon can you expect to see results?
Culture change is not a quick fix. It’s a longer term strategy for improvement. Commitment is required from the top of your organisation. But you need to play the long game to set your business up for success.

Where to start?
You need to start from where your culture is right now AND determine what you want it to look like. Strengthening your food safety culture is a diagnostic approach. You must look beneath the surface to identify the root causes of unsafe practice. The approach does not fit with the traditional tick box mentality often seen with safety compliance. There are no sticking plaster solutions. Instead psychological causes of problems are prevented from resurfacing. New habits become established.

What results can you expect to see?
Over time your culture will shift and reach a new level of maturity. People will start to feel engaged to work safely based on a shared sense of purpose. They’ll see where their role fits with the organisation’s mission. Your whole team will do more than what is expected – they will go beyond compliance because they care.

And the long term benefits?
Imagine it – your workforce learning to relearn old unhelpful habitual practices, some of which could have detrimental consequences. People working together to find effective sustainable safety solutions. Your organisation develops a new memory. It becomes a learning organisation. Sounds attractive right?
