Title

FPMTTC Committee - Remove "monitor" from Standards for Accreditation

Issue you would like the Conference to consider

The Food Protection Manager Training, Testing and Certification (FPMTTC) Committee recommends removing the definition and use of the term "monitor" from the Standards for Accreditation of Food Protection Manager Certification Programs. The term "monitor" is no longer used by certification organizations and in the Standards is always used synonymously with the term "proctor."

Proposed revisions are noted in the FPMTTC Committee report attachment titled: Standards for Accreditation of Food Protection Manager Certification.

Public Health Significance

Food establishments have fewer critical risk factors when there are employees who have a Food Protection Manager Certification in accordance with the Conference for Food Protection's Standards, according to the CDC as stated in the endorsement letter to the Conference dated April 5, 2006, and referenced on the Conference Website. (http://www.foodprotect.org/media/managercert/MTTC_cdc_endorse.pdf)

Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...

removing the definition and use of the term "monitor" from the Standards for Accreditation of Food Protection Manager Certification Programs in the following sections:

(note: underlined sections are due to proposed Standards revisions in other FPMTTC Committee submitted Issues)

  • 1.29 (definition)
  • 1.36 c.
  • 4.17.a.
  • 5.3.
  • 5.4
  • 5.13
  • 5.14
  • 5.15
  • Annex A

As these are non-substantial revisions to the Standards, exact language changes can be found in the FPMTTC Committee Final Report attachment, Standards for Accreditation of Food Protection Manager Certification.
