The Safety Awards Program was established in an effort to raise awareness for the importance of safety in the workplace. The safety awards recognize those member bakeries that demonstrate a healthy and safe work environment. The Chairman’s Award for Safety Excellence, represents the best overall record among member bakeries and is structured so each member’s individual plants compete against other plants of similar size. The Award is presented to the bakeries with the best or (the least) DART incidence rate. These Awards are presented at the opening General Session. The Recognition Awards acknowledge improvement within a plant and are awarded through the mail. Categories include the Award of Safety Merit, Certificate of Safety Achievement, and Certificate of Safety Improvement. To view more information and past Safety Contest winners, visit www.thebcma.org.

B&CMA

The B&CMA University hosts all web based programs within the same system and provides a complete educational pathway for the cookie and cracker professional. As a result, Programs are more easily

navigated and student(s) progress reports are readily accessible. All the programs including The CCM Course Online workbook has a new look but same testing features.

Companies must deal with a variety of training needs. Individuals new to the industry, whether in operations or management, must be brought up to speed on the fundamentals essential to successfully producing products. Industry knowledge learned over time must be enhanced by providing depth and understanding to how the principles of baking works. All must stay on top of continual changes in the

industry, from technology advances to new regulations on sanitation, health and safety to new and improved methods on industry practices and procedures.

B&CMA provides programs to address all these needs. The B&CMA Entry Level Training Program addresses individuals new to the industry by teaching the basic fundamentals all employees must know to work in a manufacturing environment. The Intermediate Training Course offers expanded operations oriented instruction that is based on a specific product type and/or the equipment used to produce it.

More experienced professionals can then progress to advanced instruction with the B&CMA Cookie & Cracker Manufacturing Course, which includes the science and theory underpinning the complete

process.

Member companies have 4 levels of access, all of which are explained on our website under the Education tab, www.thebcma.org
