For food processors and multi-shift plants

The procedure changed on Friday. Here is who confirmed it before Monday.

A named record of who acknowledged the procedure, by plant and by shift, on the phone in the operator's locker. The inspector gets names and dates in a file, not a sign-in sheet from one shift.

The situation

The procedure changed. The clipboard cannot say who read it.

A two-plant food processor revises its lockout procedure after a near miss on a slicer. The change goes out at three shift huddles, on the safety board and in a group text. A month later the inspector asks for training records with each employee's name and dates. The EHS manager has a sign-in sheet from one shift and a photo of the board. The plants employ 380 people.

Today
  • Three huddles, one board, one group text.

  • The inspector gets names and dates in a file.
How it works

Four screens, all shipped.

1Publish

One procedure, pinned at both plants, on every phone.

The EHS manager publishes once. On HQ the approval rule holds it until the plant manager has signed it off. Operators see it pinned on the phone in their locker and confirm with one tap before the shift.

By plant, by shift, by name.

Marysville line operators 128 of 142. Sanitation 52 of 61. One reminder to the 39 still pending, at most once every four hours, so the operators who did their part are left alone.

What you must evidence

The people who can ask for the record, in their own words.

United States · OSHA, control of hazardous energy
“The employer shall certify that employee training has been accomplished and is being kept up to date. The certification shall contain each employee's name and dates of training.”
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(iv)

What the record gives youNames and dates for who received and confirmed the procedure. The certification that training was done stays yours to sign; this is the file behind it.

South Africa · Occupational Health and Safety Act
“as far as is reasonably practicable, cause every employee to be made conversant with the hazards to his health and safety attached to any work which he has to perform”
Section 13(a), Act 85 of 1993

What the record gives you"Made conversant" gets a numeric answer, by name and by shift, the same day.

United States · FDA, preventive controls for human food
“Records that document training required by paragraph (b)(2) of this section must be established and maintained.”
21 CFR 117.4(d); hygiene and food-safety training under 117.4(b)(2)

What the record gives youThe evidence pack is the established and maintained record for GMP and hygiene refreshers, exported while the auditor is in the building.

Cited as what a manufacturer must be able to show. Kayden Connect does not certify compliance with any of them.

Read this before the demo

What it does not do.

It is not training.An acknowledgement confirms receipt. The huddle is the training; the certification is yours to sign.
It is not an EHS or quality system.No incident management, no CAPA, no HACCP plan. It carries the communication and the record of it.
It does not certify compliance.It produces the record you evidence with.
