HACCP

HACCP Training

HACCP trainingHACCP systems provide safe food for the public, free from contamination of all kinds, making HACCP training absolutely vital.  It is imperative that we prevent all food poisoning outbreaks.

We must take care in all methods of, and at all stages of production and service, to carry out this service in a responsible and diligent manner.

This obligation can only be carried out if properly implemented systems of work are in place and are frequently monitored. At various points in production and service, a critical hygiene point is reached. If there is no appreciation and there is no system in place to monitor the point, then serious problems can arise. Unsafe food may be produced and served.

Singleton Associates can train your staff to recognise the critical control points, put together a HACCP plan and implement checks to ensure the system is working.

UNDER THE NEW FOOD HYGIENE (ENGLAND) REGULATIONS MANAGEMENT NOW HAVE A DUTY TO IMPLEMENT HACCP AND GIVE TRAINING TO RELEVANT EMPLOYEES TO ADMINISTER THE HACCP SYSTEM.

The need to adopt preventative strategies in the preparation of food to ensure its safety has increasingly become the focus of good practice and regulatory requirements. Current regulations require the owners of food businesses to conduct a hazard analysis of their food operations and to implement suitable and sufficient controls to eliminate or at least reduce the risks posed by identified hazards.

Course Syllabus and objectives:

A. HAZARD ANALYSIS PRINCIPLES.

  • Produce a suitable flow chart describing the process.
  • Construct a hazard analysis plan identifying additional information/guidance and determining the appropriate involvement of other personnel.
  • Identify relevant food hazards, their location within the process and preventative measures available.
  • Identify points where control is critical and determine suitable control measures.
  • Determine the limits for, and nature of, corrective actions.
  • Determine suitable monitoring procedures.
  • Identify the need for review.
  • Devise suitable and appropriate documentation.

  • Describe the nature of additional requirements for hazard analysis found in special food industries covered by ‘vertical regulations’.
  • Understand the likely requirements of enforcement officers for hazard analysis to be in place and operating to a suitable extent.
