HACCP Awareness

This HACCP Awareness online course is ideal for food workers who will be taking part in implementing a food safety management system based on HACCP principles.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a management based system which aims to protect food throughout its progress from “farm to fork”. Although created and managed by senior staff, it is put into practice and operated by workers who are controlling the systems on a day to day basis.

Unless all involved understand what they must do and, importantly, why the essential tasks such as recording and monitoring are less likely to be achieved regularly and effectively. HACCP is a complex subject, but this course aims to simplify the theory to enable everyone understands and therefore carry out their role in the HACCP system.
