Auditing: Software Solution

A simple dictionary definition says a lot about the value in auditing your food safety practices:

Audit : A methodical examination or review of a condition or situation; with the intent to verify [syn: scrutinize, inspect]

Auditing of an operation's hand hygiene system has been hampered by lack of standards and measurement tools. Handwashing is often not subject to the rigors of an auditing system because the metrics of clean hands are lacking. We believe the number one cause of cross-contamination must be a part of your auditing system. Active Managerial Control principles and common sense support this view.

Process control technology often drifts and is regularly and efficiently corrected in the auditing process. When handwashing behaviors slip, the corrective action has been complex, generally inefficient and often ineffective. The outcomes of poor hand hygiene are well documented, often on the front pages of our newspapers.

Internal audits are a must in any Quality Assurance operation. Repetitive kitchen activity can lead to boredom and slips in behavior. The worker becomes mentally detached, raising the risk of outbreaks. If not promptly identified, the gap between the written procedure and the employee's action widens.

Auditing software solutions with timely data collection organize key interventions. They simplify a complex quality assurance process, accelerate the flow of information, shorten the timeline of corrective action and lower operator risk.
