GFN is seeking an intern to produce a GFN-published ToolKit defining best practices in maintaining effective
food safety procedures at the individual food bank level as well as through
the establishment of effective national food safety standards by a national
food bank network for its member food banks. The intern must be available
10-15 hours/ASAP. The project must be completed by March 31, 2012.
The ToolKit will educate the reader as to the need
for food safety protection, the basic tenets of an effective food safety
program, how to learn about the applicable statutory and regulatory
environment in their own country/locality, and how to design effective
policies and procedures. It will include sample policies and forms, as
appropriate and sample HACCP plans. Finally, it will include sample
self-inspection procedures and checklists to equip the reader with tools to
prepare and maintain compliance with the applicable standards.
The ToolKit will also provide recommendations for
documenting the appropriate policies and procedures of the food bank and/or
network and for developing and delivering appropriate training to staff and
volunteers to facilitate effective management of compliance with the
policies.
Description of Duties / Responsibilities:
The primary duty/goal is to compile the most relevant and critical food
safety data into a usable toolkit/manual that can then be redistributed to
