About this training…
This food safety and GMP course is designed specifically for operators working in the manufacturing of oils and is delivered on our online training dashboard.
In this training course, we will take you on a virtual tour of Slick Press Ltd, who make a range of lovely oil products.
You’ll arrive at site as a new employee and will be sent by security to reception to sign in, before you complete your induction with Barbara. You’ll meet the friendly site team, starting with Karmen who’ll take you on a tour of the external areas, before you enter the staff entrance and look around the facilities. When you’ve got changed and entered the factory you’ll follow the process; looking at how materials are received and prepared for production. Your visit will take you through the grinding, pressing and processing areas with Ali, Aaliyah and Ben. You’ll pop into the washroom to see Steph and then head into the packing area to meet Maryam to learn all about the packaging, labelling and sealing processes. Finally, Terry and Ste will show you around the warehouse and dispatch area.
As you move around the site, you’ll learn about food safety and GMP relevant to the production of oils, such as optical sorting, filtration and much, much more!
We cover the topics you need...
Our training covers all the specific topics your operators need to understand.

How water activity impacts the food safety of oil
The oil refinery process creates sufficient heat to ensure that oil is safe and the
water content then ensures that the shelf life is maintained. The course teaches the operator that addition of other ingredients may introduce new risks and how this is controlled.

How filtration of oil controls foreign bodies
Filtration of oil prior to packing is the main way of removing foreign bodies in the oil industry. Therefore, it’s an important food safety aspect that the operator needs to understand in detail.

Packing into glass
Oil is commonly packed into glass bottles and therefore good manufacturing practices around glass containers are essential. The course goes into how glass is inspected and how breakages are controlled to prevent contamination.
