Dear Bob Jobsworth,

Welcome to the Forum! :welcome:

Well, as you have probably already deduced, an overview is that HACCP is a proactive system to assure the Production of Safe Food.

To assist people explaining further, i suggest you give us a few more personal details -

Do you have any technical background?, eg any familiarity / experience with Microbiology, Quality Control, GMP ? This may avoid recommending publications which you probably fully understand already. :smile:

Added - Sorry Mike, didn't see yr post. If he/she understands all that, my post was probably redundant anyway ! :biggrin:


Kind Regards,

Thank you all very much for the explanations and reference materials provided. Especially Mike Green I think that reference you attached will be very useful and supplement my induction. I understand HACCP a lot better now. Anyway I start work a week on Monday so wish me luck.:bye:
