- Understand the basic principles of the HACCP system.
- Identify food safety risks (biological, chemical, physical).
- Recognize Critical Control Points (CCPs) in food production.
- Know how to monitor CCPs and take corrective actions when necessary.
- Understand the importance of record-keeping for food safety.
WHO THE COURSE IS FOR?
- Food industry workers (e.g., kitchen staff, food handlers, production workers).
- Supervisors or managers overseeing food safety but not directly involved in HACCP implementation.
- People looking to improve their food safety knowledge, such as new employees or those seeking an introduction to HACCP.

COURSE CONTENTS
- Introduction to HACCP
What is HACCP and why is it important?
Food safety risks and their impact (foodborne illnesses). - The 7 Principles of HACCP
Hazard Analysis: Identifying risks in food production.
Critical Control Points (CCPs): Where to control risks.
Critical Limits: Setting safe limits (e.g., temperature, cooking time).
Monitoring: How to check that limits are being met.
Corrective Actions: What to do if something goes wrong (e.g., wrong temperature).
Verification: Ensuring the system is working properly.
Record-Keeping: Why documenting everything is crucial (e.g., temperature logs, corrective actions). - Identifying and Managing Risks
Types of hazards: Biological (bacteria, viruses), Chemical (pesticides, allergens), Physical (foreign objects like glass or metal).
Recognizing CCPs in food production processes (e.g., cooking, refrigeration). - Monitoring and Corrective Actions
How to monitor CCPs (e.g., temperature checks).
Actions to take when something goes wrong (e.g., reheating or discarding food). - Record-Keeping and Documentation (30 minutes)
The importance of maintaining records for food safety.
What records to keep (e.g., temperature logs, corrective action forms). - Review and Conclusion
Recap of key concepts: HACCP principles, hazard management, monitoring.
Questions and answers to clarify any doubts.
How to apply these principles in the workplace.
