IMPQI313 – Ensure compliance to support improvement in food operations
Overview
This standard is about the skills and knowledge needed for you to ensure that your organisation’s operations maintain compliance with legal, regulatory and other external requirements, to support your organisation's drive to improve food operations. This is important in increasing productivity and success of manufacture, processing and supply within the food supply chain. Ensuring compliance is essential to maintaining the reputation of the organisation, and can be potentially vulnerable when change and improvement processes are being implemented.
You will need to show and understand how you operate to the legal, regulatory and other requirements of your organisation. You will need to monitor and understand changes in requirements and develop policies and procedures to ensure your organisation maintains compliance. You will need to ensure that relevant people are aware of the requirements and their responsibilities in meeting compliance. You will also need to provide and receive feedback relating to compliance issues.
