Does anyone have a risk assessment template that they could share...maybe one specifically speaking to hairnets or any GMP's.  If not any Risk Assessment templae would work.

[Mr. Incognito]

Typically things like hairnets/beard nets (snoods) are not subject to a risk assessment.  It is best practice throughout the food industry to require any employee that comes into contact with food/ingredient/packaging production to be required to wear one as part of the locations "Good Manufacturing Practices".  It's like operators bringing glass on the floor.  There is no instance where an employee should bring any glass on the floor that isn't part of some type of work process (maybe an on floor lab or something odd...).

 

Otherwise for any other risk you want to set up a matrix with severity (how bad would it be if it got into the food) and likelihood (how often might this get in the food)  Then you multiply the severity and the likelihood and come up with your Risk Assessment Score.

 

Likelihood  1     2     3    4      5

S

E    1         1     2     3    4      5

V

E    2         2     4    6     8     10

R

I     3         3      6    9   12    15

T   

Y   4          4     8    12  16    20

 

     5          5    10   15   20   25

 

Then you have to decide, in the food safety team, what level requires mitigation and what type (Control Point, Critical Control Point) etc.

 

Is that the idea of what you were asking about?

Thanks...Doing a risk assessment for GMP's like hairnets and beard covers is typical in Distributuion Centers.  There is no risk when there is no open product...I've even seen DC's that have done one for jewelry.

 

Just wanting to get ideas about how others are conducting risk assessments...Wanted to see if there was something out there that I've never seen or considered

In conducting the risk assessment consider the likelihood of occurence and the severity of impact.  Give each a numerical value, say between 1-4, then use the matrix to determine action.  See the attached matrix.

Also the FDA has an online tool for assessment.

This is a simple one I have.

See how you get on. You need to change the questions in probability and outcome  to suit your needs and then drag the lines to the score and see where they cross. Page 2 on the tab is for your actions etc.
