Hazard Analysis process
The process of conducting a hazard analysis requires two stages.
The first stage is hazard identification, which can be considered a brainstorming session. During this stage, the HACCP team analysis the ingredients used in the product, the activities conducted at each step in the process and the recourses used, the final product and its method of supply and distribution, and the intended use and consumers of the product.
In stage two of the hazard analysis, the HACCP team settles which potential hazards must be addressed in the HACCP plan. During this stage, each and every potential hazard is calculated based on the severity of the potential hazard and its likely incident. Severity is the seriousness of the impacts of exposure to the hazard.
