Yearbook 2013/2014 - ehedg

146 EHEDG Regional Sections
Training
Training and education materials remain the main topic to
promote hygiene awareness and understanding among
staff/personnel involved in the food chain, ‘from farm to fork’.
Knowledge dissemination
Other channels of spreading knowledge are magazines
and online publications. Targeted were Dutch media such
as Voedingsmiddelentechnologie (VMT), WEKA and Eisma
Voedingsmiddelenindustrie (EVMI) with 12 articles published
in total.
Several in-house training sessions were organised for
food companies as well as for equipment suppliers and
engineering firms. Most food equipment suppliers and a
large number of food companies in the Netherlands are
familiar with the EHEDG.
A significant number of seminars was held introducing
developments fulfilling EHEDG requirements and some
lectures were held at fairs, p.e. Industrial Processing, Solids
Fairs, Technivent and Stainless Steel World; in total about 30
lectures with a total exposure of more than 700 participants
were presented.
Board members of EHEDG Netherlands are active in the
Subgroups Building Design, Tank Cleaning and Testing &
Certification.
Joint activities with other associations
Interest has arisen from the metal industry to enter into a
cooperation introducing EHEDG requirements in the metal
industry.
