FISH partners with Tacoma Community College

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, FISH Food Banks of Pierce County is delighted to be partnering with Tacoma Community College to present a specially designed course in safety and warehouse management for food bank operations. Titled "Safety Excellence in the FISH Food Network," the six-hour class will give FISH Food Bank coordinators and other food warehouse operators an opportunity to look at the most common issues and pitfalls that can create safety hazards.

TCC business instructor Gary Olson has designed the class with input from FISH staff and safety office Marcus Stoll. Topics to be covered include safety training, materials handling, shelving/racking, proper lifting, housekeeping, truck safety, pedestrian safety, use of protective equipment and much more.

We're excited to be working with TCC on this project and hope it's the first of many!
