Posted By Merv Newman May, It's me again. If you google haccp then you'll find a lot of sites. an example is http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/haccp.html but that one concentrates mainly on fish. Merv

Posted By Merv Newman I'm sort of presuming you are in a food production facility (alright, a kitchen) If the HACCP evaluation has been completed by your predecessor then the Hazards and Critical Control Points will have been identified. Remaining Hazards should be indicated by warning signs. Post lists of CCPs as a general reminder. Sign-off sheets for temperatures, disinfection of worksurfaces, bacterial swabs, floor cleaning and so on should be easily available to employees. Control intervals and measures should be repeated on these sheets or log books. Reminders to "now wash your hands" should be posted at toilet exits, entry from the waste bin area and over the prep tables. Results of bacterial swab tests should be graphed against numerical objectives and posted. I've probably missed a few things as I've only done HACCP audits in restaurants. Hope some of our colleagues can come in and help out. It is also an idea to have your "food hygiene" policy, signed by MD or equivalent, presented to all workers and posted in work areas. Merv Note : the word "posted": I had some documents translated from English to French. Came back as "sent by mail" And "snail-mail" translates to "courier d'escargot" Not a lot of people know that.

Posted By Merv Newman Reading your posting again, you could consider a photo or diagram of each process with the Hs and CCPs indicated and explained Merv

Posted By May Hi, It's me again and my silly question session! You see, I'm in the midst of doing a display on every process on the Production. Had a meeting with my boss this morning with a sample. He commented that it's too plain(all black!) and it needs colours(in letters or cell boxes). I need suggestions as I don't wanna make the display too colourful. All I could think of is probably using a red 'YES'and a blue 'NO' on the CCP column! I need feedbacks and suggestions. Thanks May
