Part of Fix It Fridays, Kiwa ASI's free 2027 webinar series: solving the Most Common Food Safety Audit Findings.
Not another standards-reading webinar: one real-world problem, why it happens and what to do differently.
Every Fix It Fridays webinar is free.
What this 60-minute session covers.
Starting from your products, processes and facility, not a generic sampling plan.
Sampling where pathogens are likely to hide, not just where swabbing is easy.
How Zones 1 to 4 help you plan sampling around food-contact risk.
Deciding how often, when and how many sites to sample.
Reading results over time to spot problems before they reach product.
What to do when a swab comes back positive, and how fast.
Linking positives to root cause investigation and corrective action.
Using what the program finds to improve sanitation, equipment and practices.
Most programs organize sampling sites by sanitary zone, from food-contact surfaces out to areas outside production.
Direct food-contact surfaces, such as conveyors, slicers, fillers, utensils and work tables.
Non-food-contact surfaces close to food-contact surfaces, such as equipment frames, housings and control panels.
Non-food-contact surfaces farther away in the processing area, such as floors, drains, walls and carts.
Areas outside processing, such as warehouses, hallways, locker rooms and break rooms.
Zones 1 to 4 are common industry practice for organizing a program, not a regulatory definition. A program that rarely finds anything isn't proof of a clean plant: it may be sampling the wrong places or the wrong times.
Anyone who designs, runs or acts on environmental monitoring, including:
Six free, live online webinars in 2027, each tackling one common food safety problem: why it happens and what to do differently. See all free webinars.
Move beyond checklists to risk-based, process-focused internal audits.
Find the real root cause and stop repeat findings.
Control the food safety risks that maintenance work introduces.
Turn environmental monitoring data into contamination prevention.
Strengthen cleaning, verification and continuous improvement.
Bring it all together: continuous audit readiness, all year.
Live online courses from Kiwa ASI that go deeper on this session's topics.
Design a risk-based environmental monitoring program: zones, sampling sites and frequency, trending and response to positives.

Key topics include:

A common way to organize sampling sites by how close they are to exposed food: Zone 1 is food-contact surfaces, Zone 2 is non-food-contact surfaces next to them, Zone 3 is the rest of the processing area, and Zone 4 is outside processing. It's industry practice, not a regulatory definition. See environmental monitoring zones.
Because the value of the data depends on where, when and how often you sample, and what you do with the results. Sampling only easy-to-reach sites, sampling right after sanitation, or not trending results over time can all leave real problems undetected.
Fix It Fridays is Kiwa ASI's free 2027 webinar series on the real-world reasons food safety programs break down. Six 60-minute sessions, one every other month, each tackle one common problem: why it happens and what to do differently. See the full series.
