Training

The PTIN supports the development and implementation of training sessions, seminars, and workshops on food safety that refer to international standards and best practices, such as those developed by Codex, OIE, and IPPC, in a manner consistent with the obligations of the WTO SPS Agreement. The availability of focused and consistent training materials can yield significant gains in the ability of the APEC regions producers, manufacturers, and other supply chain participants to better ensure the safety of the food supply. Four priority areas where PTIN is working to improve the availability and accessibility of training are Risk Analysis; Supply Chain Management; Food Safety Incident Management; and Laboratory Capacity.

An important PTIN goal is to make food safety training sustainable. The plan is to post PTIN training materials in this training section so the materials are accessible to a broader universe of interested parties.
