The PMP’s Role in Protecting Food Safety

Jay Bruesch was the second speaker of the morning at the New York Pest Expo 2010. His presentation on the PMP’s Role in Protecting Food Safety was outstanding! Think about the business you have today. Are you, the pest control operator, prepared to service the food industry and improve its safety? Restaurants, grocery stores, food manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and more, all need pest management solutions. If you aren’t familiar with their regulations and standards, you are missing out on a huge opportunity.
