Presenter: Noah Hersey<\/h3>\n

Chemicals are used extensively in food operations for cleaning, sanitizing, pest control, and water treatment. This webinar will focus on the safe, effective, and compliant use of these substances. Key topics will include understanding Safety Data Sheets (SDS), proper dilution rates and application techniques, safe storage and labeling requirements, and personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols. We will also review common regulatory pitfalls and how to train staff to handle chemicals responsibly, prevent cross-contamination, and respond to spills or exposures, ensuring alignment with OSHA and food safety regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n

Available Soon: Online Registration<\/strong><\/h3>\n
