4. An example of such awareness training is FDA ALERT
Training initiative: “The ALERT initiative is intended to
raise the awareness of state and local government agency
and industry representatives regarding food defense
issues and preparedness.” Available from: www.fda.
gov/Food/FoodDefense/Training/ALERT/default.htm
There are no assessments.
5. For the business risk assessment (as contrasted to
the quality risk assessment) that is involved in an
organization's determination of due diligence, see the
previous chapter.
6. See Edward E. Scannell (1992), “Facilitation; all but
unknown a decade ago, 'facilitating' has become the 'in'
thing for trainers. Many trainers, in fact, have abandoned
their 'trainer' hats and term themselves 'facilitators'
instead.” An example is FDA FIRST initiative, which is
closely related to the ALERT initiative. “Employees
FIRST educate front-line food industry workers
from farm to table about the risk of intentional
food contamination and the actions they can take to
identify and reduce these risks.” Available from: www.
fda.gov/Food/FoodDefense/Training/ucm135038.htm
Ten “Knowledge Check Questions” are included at the
end of the FIRST training materials.
7. E-learning is a special case of a communication or
a training event. If the e-learning module lacks an
assessment, it is a “page turner,” hence awareness
training on a par with a “read-and-sign” document. If
the e-learning module includes an assessment, it is a
training event, albeit special in the sense that it
incorporates a virtual trainer.
8. There is a substantial legal exposure to the use of
invalidated KTAs (short quizzes), and there are serious
costs to validating KTAs; see Elizabeth Shoenfelt and
