This course is intended to provide hands-on experience with planning and conducting environmental sampling activities primarily in a retail setting.

Learn how to build a sampling team and plan for an environmental sampling exercise, target sampling areas based on specific pathogens, and how sampling can contribute to an overall environmental assessment of a facility.  This one-day course includes half a day of classroom and hands-on learning, followed by a half day of putting those skills into action in a real kitchen/food production environment.
