The conference will consist of two sections: during the first half of the conference, Lisa Lupo, Editor at QA magazine, will present “Contemporary Best Practices in Employee Hygiene in Food Facilities.” This presentation will include a contemporary analysis of the current status of employee hygiene in food and beverage processing facilities which was recently published in QA’s 2020 State of the Employee Hygiene Market study sponsored by Meritech.

Mr. Barnhill will discuss why good hygiene practices have always been a matter of life and death for food processing facilities and examine how hygiene is now seen as a measure of corporate social responsibility for all businesses. 

“The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many issues to light that businesses have a social responsibility to resolve, especially when it comes to hygiene,” said Meritech CTO and human hygiene expert Paul Barnhill. “Hygiene directly impacts employee and consumer safety, both of which have always been important in food processing, but are now paramount with the added risk of COVID-19.” 

At this virtual conference on September 23rd, Mr. Barnhill will also explore why organizations should go back to reassess and validate current hygiene practices to ensure that SOP’s are still best for today’s world by focusing on “the 3P’s”: People, Place and Product. Meritech will be providing free tools for registrants that they can use at their facility to train and validate handwashing and footwear sanitation practices as well as build a culture of hygiene excellence.
