In the BRCGS Food Safety issue 9 standard,
๐ย the terms '๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐', '๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ', '๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐' appear 50 times (I counted them... Nah, of course I did not ๐ย )
๐ฉโ๐ย and the terms '๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด', '๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป' ๐ผ๐ฟ '๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ' are used 90 times !!
Better make sure we know what we're doing because the BRCGS auditor will be checking that we do!
๐บย Be careful that a ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ผ๐ณ '๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ' and the auditor may/should want to see how the work is done, speak with people, and actually assess whether staff is COMPETENT for their jobs, not just that they have been trained.

๐บย One last thing, a few clauses say '๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ ๐น๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ'. In those cases, you're expected to be able to show proof of training, NOT just of competence.
Hope that all makes sense.
