If you've been through an FSMA Produce Safety Rule inspection, you already know the inspector cares about more than your equipment. They care about your people — whether they were trained, whether they were on-site when something happened, and whether you can prove it.
Subpart C of the Produce Safety Rule has three pieces with real recordkeeping consequences: training records for every worker who handles produce; documented trained supervisors; and contemporaneous records of any illness, injury, or contamination event.
A roster of who was on the farm on a specific date. A training record for each of those people. A record of supervisor coverage by block and hour. Documentation of any worker illness reports with timestamps. A clean trail showing workers who reported illness were not in food-contact roles.
Passable means an inspector can ask a question, and you can answer it from records — not from memory. The simplest test: pick a date from three months ago. Can you, in under fifteen minutes, produce a list of every worker on the farm that day, what blocks they worked, who their supervisor was, and their training status?
Worker profiles include training records as a first-class field. Daily clock-in records carry the block, crew, and supervisor for every entry. Incident logs are entered the day the incident happens. Reports are pre-built for the questions inspectors actually ask.
Three places consistently: contractor or H-2A workers brought in mid-season who skip training; supervisor-level training being absent; and the gap between when a worker is hired and when they're trained.
Labor records are the most under-prepared part of FSMA compliance. They're also the easiest to fix once you stop trying to do it on paper.
