National Seafood Emergency Plan - Western Australia Trial Workshop
Failure to deal quickly and effectively with a real or perceived food safety incident may result in costly trade disruption and threaten the commercial viability of seafood suppliers, processors, wholesalers, retailers and food service providers.
SSA has developed the national SEP as part of it's strategic plan for the national seafood industry.
This workshop is another step in the developmental phase of the SEP.
Final report
A National Seafood Emergency Plan was produced in 2001 and the individual States (apart from South Australia and Queensland) have not tested their capability to handle an emergency that could jeopardise the future of the seafood industry.
There is a commitment from Industry leaders throughout Australia to develop and test a plan that could minimise the damage to industry that would arise from a major food safety incident involving Australian seafood.
