The Internet provides an ideal means for introducing individuals with a common interest and for facilitating the exchange of information between these parties. PrimusLabs.com has designed an Internet site that introduces buyers to regionally based auditors. Many of these auditors have developed a special understanding of the unique strengths and weaknesses of their particular growing regions.

Buyers have a need to convey to their suppliers certain standards and guidelines. Furthermore, the buyers have a need for a feedback system that assures that their suppliers are implementing the proper practices.

To assist all interested parties, PrimusLabs.com has made its safe production document development program http://www.primuslabs.com/dd/index.html and auditing http://www.primuslabs.com/fs/index.html available. Once admitted to the program as an auditor, the auditors webpage links to other supporting documentation.

This program has been developed to address the cost inefficiencies of ideal or near ideal surveillance systems. Ideal surveillance being defined as a receiver's own employees conducting the audit, near ideal surveillance being an audit conducted by a "known entity", such as PrimusLabs .com, CMi, AIB, etc.

These cost inefficiencies have created a window of opportunity for regionally based auditors. Through PrimusLabs.com's Internet system, you now have an opportunity to become a "Third Party Auditor" using templates that have been specifically designed for produce industry (processing audit can be used in many other  parts of the food industry as well).

If you decide to become a subcontractor for PrimusLabs.com your performance will be under constant and increasing scrutiny. Reviews will include traditional auditing of the auditors and audit report reviews. PrimusLabs.com's objective is to assure even the most discriminating quality assurance and legal departments that an accurate audit did take place and that the results are made available in a timely manner to the proper parties.

If you choose to apply for acceptance into our system, your comments, suggestions and questions regarding how the system might be improved are always welcome. PrimusLabs.com is continually seeking to streamline the processes and make them more relevant to users of the food safety system.

A third party auditor is defined as an agent of the person or organization for whom the audit is conducted, and is not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer with PrimusLabs.com. The relationship between PrimusLabs.com and the affiliated/subcontractor third party auditor is simply that of customer and supplier.
