Click on the boxes on the right-hand side
of this page for more information.
Employees who work with food need to be committed to creating products that are safe to eat. So it's important that they follow good cleaning procedures in their facility.
Exposure to harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, spores, fungi and viruses, can contaminate food products during the manufacturing process. And if customers eat this contaminated food, it can result in what are known as "foodborne illnesses". But if employees follow the proper cleaning procedures, it can help to eliminate these microorganisms.
Topics covered in this course include:
- Different types of surfaces, and methods that you can use to clean them
- When and how employees should wash their hands
- How employees can keep their hands germ-free throughout their workday
- Practicing good "personal hygiene"
- The elements of the cleaning process that are represented by the acronym "TACT WINS"
- Basic methods for cleaning both wet and dry surfaces
- …and more.
Like all MARCOM courses, this new course on "Cleaning and Sanitizing in Food Processing and Handling Environments: Cleaning" uses a powerful combination of full-motion, high-definition video filmed in real world locations, along with audio, text and colorful graphics to provide the most cost-effective training available today.

Adaptive Learning
“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.
These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.
MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.
Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
