Lubrication Training: Ensuring Food Safety and Operational Excellence

Written by Activate | Jul 4, 2024 1:47:27 PM

Insufficient training has been highlighted as a common non-conformity in the previous BRC Global Standard Issue. The Activate team frequently encounters this issue, often due to lubricants being viewed merely as products rather than essential components of a site’s reliability culture.

Any lack of competence in lubrication management can lead to serious consequences, including compromised food safety, increased downtime costs, potential product recalls, brand damage, and negatively impacted Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

This situation is avoidable with proper training and knowledge!

Empowering Knowledge

At Activate, our customer knowledge empowerment begins with an analysis of current practices and recommendations for improvement. We provide face-to-face training during lubrication system installation and supply comprehensive documentation for best practice reference.

Our e-training platform, Activate Insights, is available 24/7, offering the flexibility to onboard new team members and continually update existing ones.

Introducing the Enhanced Activate Insights Platform

Activate Insights, our specialised e-training platform, now includes three distinct modules:

•    Toolbox Talks: Covering best practice use of Activate products.
•    BRC Global Standard Audit Compliance: Six steps to ensure compliance.
•    Introduction to Condition Monitoring: An overview of a proactive maintenance approach.

These modules ensure that your team is always up-to-date with the latest best practices and compliance requirements. Users can quickly brush up on Activate product specs or points of lubrication best practice, or take certified Knowledge Evaluations to record completion and understanding of each module.

Benefits of Regular Online Training

Online training offers numerous benefits:

•    Accessibility: Available anytime, anywhere, accommodating different schedules.
•    Consistency: Standardised training content ensures uniform knowledge across the team.
•    Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces the need for on-site visits and associated costs.
•    Scalability: Easily scalable to train multiple users simultaneously.

Activate Insights: Tailored for Your Needs

Our e-training platform is exclusive to Activate customers, with customer-specific training portals. The Toolbox Talk videos and evaluation sets are tailored to cover your specific oil store inventory and factory-floor requirements, avoiding irrelevant generic content.

Even after in-person Toolbox Talks at your site, we recommend engineers take the Knowledge Evaluation annually to keep best practices fresh. Upon completion, a certificate is sent to your Compliance Manager for your Compliance Folder, providing a tick in the box for auditors.

Activate Insights offers a cost-effective solution compared to face-to-face site visits, making it a win-win for your team’s training needs.
