HACCP Principles and Application
An integral part to your overall food safety management system is the requirement to use the steps and principles of HACCP to identify, assess, control and monitor food safety hazards that may occur in your food business. If the steps and requirements of HACCP are not correctly undertaken and implemented, there can be significant impacts on both your customers and your business. These impacts can include product recall, injury, illness, customer complaints or decreased business profit.
The HACCP Principles and Application course is designed to teach you how to develop, implement and maintain a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system. The training is presented in 18 separate modules which cover the 5 preliminary steps and the 7 principles of HACCP. Practical examples and activities are provided to assist with development and implementation within your food business. Additionally, participants will learn techniques for managing both HACCP and pre-requisite programs to ensure food products are safe and suitable for customers and consumers.
