Hello friends.
I have a question, I made a mapping to review the existing documentation and operational practices to ensuring the safety of products made by the organization and compare them against the requirements of ISO 22000:2005 for determining the compliance certification of this standard. After made the mapping, an external consultor suggests, that we have to implement a procedure to identify hazards and safety risk assessment.

is there an example of this kind of procedure?.

Thank you and best regards.
Roberto.

I don't have an example of such a procedure, but for identifying potential hazards and safety risk assessment, you need to proceed through the following steps:

1. Brainstorm the potential hazards (it depends on the nature of processes involved and country's regulations)
2. Rank the ones that are most likely and most significant.
3. Based on the outcome of the above studies, you could develop operational procedure/controls

I'm not an expert so my advice is strictly based on common sense viewpoint.
I'm sure other members can give you good suggestions and some sort of example of it.

Dear Roberto,

Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment is the answer.As mentioned in the previous post previous

Identify all potential hazards(chemical, biological, physical, allergenic) by by looking at your products, production areas, processing etc.
Gauge the severity and chances of occurrence of these hazards e.g metal piece in the food can have very sever effect on safety of food and then put control measures for these hazards.

i hope it helps.

regards

Dear Luigirobert,

is there an example of this kind of procedure?.


If you mean an example of a HACCP Plan, yes, there are literally thousands on the net.

You could try searching here for "HACCP plan". Should reveal between 10 and 100 examples.

But perhaps you are referring to some specific aspect of designing a HACCP plan ?

Kind Regards,

Hi Charles,
Yes that's what I mean, "How to design and apply the HACCP", or the "step by step procedure". (like a formal manual)

Our external consultor said, that the first step is know how to do the analysis, well it's just how to follow and apply the HACCP, however, "steps" has to be documented in a procedure, that's why our consultor suggest create a procedure.

I hope I explained myself

Best regards.
Roberto.
