Root Cause Analysis 1 – Day Course
About Course
Food safety incidents, non-conformances, customer complaints and audit findings can have a significant impact on product safety, compliance and consumer confidence. However, simply correcting the immediate problem does not always prevent it from happening again. Effective Root Cause Analysis (RCA) enables food businesses to investigate problems systematically and identify the underlying causes that contribute to food safety failures.
This 1-day online self-paced course provides participants with a practical understanding of Food Safety Root Cause Analysis and its role in maintaining an effective food safety management system. Participants will learn how to distinguish between symptoms, immediate causes and true root causes, while applying structured problem-solving techniques to real food safety challenges.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and practical skills to conduct more effective investigations, strengthen continuous improvement, develop effective corrective and preventive actions that address the root cause and reduce the likelihood of recurrence and support ongoing food safety and regulatory compliance within their organisation.
