Explore the HACCP framework and its seven principles, including hazard analysis, identifying critical control points, establishing critical limits, monitoring, corrective actions, verification, and record keeping to ensure safe food production.
Define hazard, harm, and risk, and show how design deviations create hazards. Use a five by five matrix to assess probability and severity in HACCP ISO 22000 risk analyses.
Identify the preliminary steps to start a HACCP plan, including fundamental prerequisite programs like good manufacturing practices, a HACCP-trained team, and USDA guidelines. Develop process flow charts and SOPs; verify.
Explore the twelve prerequisite programs required before HACCP, including GMP, SOPs, raw material control, sanitation, maintenance, allergen and chemical controls, and traceability.
Identify critical control points using a flowchart to distinguish hazards that require hazard plans from those that do not, using metals and metal detectors as examples, and emphasize monitoring.
Learn how to create a HACCP plan from scratch using a Food Docs template, identifying critical control points, hazards, limits, monitoring, deviations, and verification.
Master hazard and operability analysis (hazop) to perform qualitative risk assessment, identify deviations with guidewords, and plan design-phase hazard mitigation for chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas processes.
Learn the four phases of a hazop study—definition, preparation, examination, and documentation—defining scope, building a cross-functional team, identifying deviations, and recording actions and outcomes.
Explore guide words in hazop analysis to brainstorm deviations and risks using what-if questions and apply preventive controls, such as ensuring only raw water in a good manufacturing practice facility.
Create a hazard analysis and CCP file from scratch using a provided template, detailing hazards, critical limits, monitoring, deviations, corrective actions, verification, and record-keeping.
Explore the pros and cons of Hazop as a brainstorming tool for hazards hard to quantify, including human performance, while noting its lack of cross-system analysis and risk ranking.
This comprehensive online course on HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) will cover all the aspects of food safety and quality management. The course is designed to equip you with the necessary skills to identify and manage hazards in the production process and implement preventive measures to ensure the safety of the final product.
The course will introduce you to the seven principles of HACCP, including conducting a hazard analysis, determining critical control points, establishing critical limits, implementing monitoring procedures, establishing corrective actions, and verifying the HACCP system.
Throughout the course, you will be introduced to videos and resources, in which you will learn from real-life examples of how HACCP is applied in a range of different food production settings. Additionally, you will learn best practices for documenting your HACCP program, as well as key strategies for training staff and implementing and maintaining your system.
By the end of the course, you will have a deep understanding of HACCP principles and the tools necessary to build a successful HACCP plan. You will receive a certificate of completion to add to your resume, demonstrating to potential employers your expertise in food safety and quality management. Whether you are a food production manager, quality control specialist, or simply an individual looking to enhance your knowledge about food safety, HACCP certification will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to be successful.
As a bonus material, you will also learn about HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Analysis) which is a very popular risk management tool to identify, evaluate and mitigate risk in domain chemical, oil and mining plants and also in pharmaceutical industry.
