ISO 15000:1998 Food Hygiene - Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)

WHAT IS HACCP?•It Identifies, Evaluate and Controls Hazards which are Significant for Food Safety•HACCP allows manufacturers to identify hazards as they could occur through the stages of production so that adequate measures can be implemented so they can be prevented

•HACCP Team includes: Technical Managers, Company Engineers, Microbiologist, Quality Manager, Supervisors, External Specialists

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & CONTROL MEASURES•The HACCP Team needs to identify hazards which are likely to occur throughout the production process

•There will be a variety of hazards which could be of microbiological, physical or chemical origin

•Suitable pre-requisite information & control measures should be compiled to minimise the impact of the hazards or eliminate the hazard completely

WHO SHOULD USE A HACCP PROGRAMME? Food Manufacturers should use the HACCP system to ensure that hazards are identified & controlled before they pose a risk to the end consumer of the product

In many countries is a legal requirement to follow the principles of HACCP

PREREQUISITE PROGRAMMES

MaintenanceWaste managementPest controlApproved Suppliers Staff TrainingOperational Control(policy, procedures, work instructions)

CRITICAL CONTROL POINTS (CCPS)•Manufacturers should assess the severity of hazards using the Codex decision tree (see right)

•A production process is only a CCP if it is critical to product safety & the hazard posed will not be addressed at a later stage in production

•If these hazards are not controlled then the final product may be unsafe & cause harm to the consumer

•Resources should be concentrated on CCP’s

SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HACCP1. Conduct Hazards Analysis2. Determine the Critical Control Points3. Establish Critical Limits4. Establish Monitoring System5. Establish Corrective Action6. Establish Verification Procedures7. Establish Documentation

ISO 18001:2007 (OHSAS) Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series 18001

OHSAS 18001 (OR OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ASSESSMENT SERIES 18001)

It is a management system designed with international standards that helps institutions controlled their occupational health and safety threats for better performance.

The history in brief:

•Year 96’:British Standards Industry (BSI) introduced the first OHSAS standard in 1999 - BSI 8800 provided guidelines for the current version;

•Year 99’:The specification outlines the prerequisites for any occupational health and safety management system, which aids an institution to enhance performance;

•Year 2007:Updated to better align with ISO 14001 focusing in health.

WHY BS OHSAS 18001 CERTIFICATION? By obtaining the BS OHSAS 18001 Certification you can prove to your stakeholders, customers and staff that you are aware of your health and safety obligations and are looking to minimise the risks that are associated.

THE MAIN BENEFIT OF OBTAINING BS OHSAS 18001:2007 ARE: Benefits to you:•Enhanced reputation as a health and safety conscious organisation.•Reduced risk of potential litigation cases, for example through reducing the number of accidents in the work place.•Improved productivity of the workforce as potential for absenteeism and sickness is reduced.

 

Benefits to your customers:•By conducting rigorous risk and hazard assessments customers are reassured that products / services are delivered within legal requirements.•Knowledge that heightened awareness of health and safety codes of practice is promoted throughout the supply chain.

 

Benefits to your staff:•Peace of mind that they are employed by a company that promotes health and safety in the workplace, and involvement from all staff to ensure it is a safe place to work.•Ability to take responsibility for hazard identification and risk assessment therefore contributing to accidents / incident reporting; consequently improving morale.•Job security improved through enhanced business performance

THE PROCESS TO OBTAIN OHSAS 18001:2007 CERTIFICATION:

OHSAS 18001 WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE GUIDANCE OF THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL STANDARD BUREAUS AND CERTIFICATION BODIES:I. British Standards InstitutionII. Bureau Veritas Quality InternationalIII. Det Norske VeritasIV. International Certification ServicesV. International Safety Management OrganizationVI. Lloyds Register Quality AssuranceVII.National Quality AssuranceVIII.National Standards Authority of IrelandIX. SFS CertificationX. SGS Yarsley International Certification ServicesXI. South African Bureau of StandardsXII.Standards and Industry Research Institute of Standards Australia

•Many organizations decide to implement OHSAS 18001 and obtain registration because it assures employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, regulators and the community at large that the company has an internationally recognized Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) in place.

•When an organization conforms to OHSAS 18001, it ensures that all people directly or indirectly involved with the company are exposed to a minimum number of risks. A third party certification ensures that effective steps have been put in place to avoid accidents and unsafe situations.
