Partners
in Public Safety -
This popular presentation discusses the 2001 FDA Food Code, and how the various
federal, state and local code authorities work together to interpret and enforce
laws that relate to public safety. This presentation was borne out of the
cooperative efforts between JDP, The Minnesota Department of Agriculture, the
Minnesota Department of Health, the Bloomington (MN) health department and one
of the largest food retailers in the world.
Where Hazards Collide -
This presentation promotes the multi-disciplinary approach to designing
foodservice codes, as well as foodservice space. In this presentation we
investigate issues that arise when various aspects of public safety conflict.
For instance, we examine how various mechanical and fire codes end up
costing the restaurant owner an enormous amount of extra money due to
ventilation requirements, without improving public safety, and how to succeed
with (section 105) alternate method submittals.
Serving Safe Food
- This comprises
the required day long review and certification examination for the Servesafe
Food Safety Training Program. We
were the first company to offer presentation graphics for the Servesafe review

completion satisfies requirements for every major U.S. jurisdictional authority
for Food manager Certification. This
presentation is slanted to the establishment owner and design professional.
