HACCP Training

Purpose of HACCP Training

The first step in achieving a safe food product is developing a HACCP plan. A HACCP plan defines how each part of the process will be monitored to ensure that standards are met at each critical control point. By clearly defining these steps and who will carry them out, it is more efficient for production and ensures that the appropriate checks are completed.

HACCP training is an important part of developing a HACCP plan. Studies show that employees who take an HACCP training course on food safety tend to follow through with the process, resulting in safer products. This has been shown to be even more effective when paired with regular audits. HACCP training is important as HACCP plans and HACCP audits require that employees and management fully understand HACCP regulations.

Who Can Apply for an HACCP Training Course?

Anyone with an interest in food safety and the food business is eligible for HACCP training. All key personnel involved in the manufacturing, catering, or retailing of food products (raw materials, ingredients, and finished products), such as butchers, chefs, cooks, managers, and supervisors, should have a basic understanding of food safety and their rights and responsibilities in accordance with country regulations. Additionally, all employees of an organization who plan to obtain HACCP certification should take an HACCP training course.

How is HACCP Training Conducted?

HACCP training is normally performed by an external consultant such as IAS, either through lectures or workshops. During this time, employees are given the opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns regarding their specific job within the production process. This allows them to effectively communicate with management throughout the HACCP plan creation process.
