Conformance with Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards

SC DHEC-MFRPS项目摘要 南卡罗来纳州卫生与环境控制部（SC DHEC）计划 利用这一合作协议，为SC提供必要的人员和资源 DHEC将实现符合制成品监管计划 标准在第三年年底。具体而言，通过雇用一名全职环境 健康经理负责记录管理、沟通和教育 行业利益相关者，协助审计和执法支持。另外，50% 将聘请应用程序分析师创建自动化系统，以跟踪和改进 与检查、投诉和执法有关的记录保存效率， 提高标准的可持续性。此外，25%的食源性流行病学家将 支持，以改善食品投诉数据，追溯/追溯工作， 食源性疾病调查。 该协议将为项目工作人员提供差旅费， 国家委员会和年度会议。在第4年和第5年，SC DHEC计划 对制造商进行教育评估和宣传，以及2 为制造商提供桌面练习，以提高对核心技术的参与和理解 公共卫生和食品安全目标。实现这一目标将有助于SC DHEC确保 达到国家标准化食品安全目标，SC DHEC有工作人员 和资源来执行和推进这些目标。 在过去，SC DHEC没有专门的人员来解决剩余的问题， 差距到完全一致。目前，这些责任由检查人员承担。这 合作协议提供的人员，可以专门致力于这些 目标，并大大提高努力实现一致性。这些敬业的工作人员将 负责开发程序和系统，以自动化数据需求， 一致性一旦SC DHEC达到人员、系统和 设备需求概述在这个建议，维护它将大大减少 很麻烦在项目期结束时，现有的检查人员将能够 利用创建的系统来审核、验证和维护程序的符合性 标准

SC DHEC - MFRPS Project Abstract South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control (SC DHEC) plans to utilize this cooperative agreement to provide staff and resources necessary for SC DHEC to achieve conformance with the Manufactured Foods Regulatory Program Standards by the end of Year 3. Specifically, by hiring one full time Environmental Health Manager tasked with records management, communicating and educating industry stakeholders, assisting with audit and enforcement support. Additionally a 50% Applications Analyst will be hired to create automated systems to track and improve efficiency of record keeping associated with inspections, complaints and enforcement to enhance standards sustainability. Also, a 25% foodborne epidemiologist will be supported in order to improve food complaint data, traceback/traceforward efforts and foodborne disease investigation. This agreement will provide travel funding for program staff to attend and participate in national committees and the annual meeting. During Years 4 & 5 SC DHEC plans to conduct an educational assessment and outreach to manufacturers as well as 2 tabletop exercises for manufacturers to increase involvement and understanding of core public health and food safety goals. Achieving this purpose will help SC DHEC ensure that national standardized food safety objectives are met and that SC DHEC has staff and resources to both enforce and advance these objectives. In the past, SC DHEC has not had the dedicated personnel to address the remaining gaps to full conformance. Currently, these responsibilities fall on inspection staff. This cooperative agreement provides personnel that can be specifically dedicated to these goals and greatly improve efforts to achieve conformance. This dedicated staff will be tasked with developing programs and systems to automate data needs related to conformance. Once SC DHEC achieves conformance with personnel, systems and equipment needs outlined in this proposal, maintaining it will be significantly less burdensome. At the conclusion of the project period existing inspection staff will be able to utilize the systems created to audit, verify and maintain conformance to program standards.
