• Describe the legal requirements for traceability.
• Demonstrate the practical application of forwards and backwards traceability including mass balance.
• Additional considerations when setting up traceability.

This course is aimed at businesses looking to set up traceability systems or, to provide staff involved in completing process paperwork an insight into traceability, its importance and practical application. The workshop will include activities to demonstrate forwards and backwards traceability exercises.
