Risk Analysis

To assess the likely occurrence of hazards and the severity of their adverse health effects, XXXX Dairy require the following quantitive evaluation of the presence of hazards to be carried out based on management knowledge and
experience, using hisotical data also where available.

Definition of Risk: An estimate of the LIKELIHOOD of the hazard occuring and its IMPACT on health.
RISK = IMPACT x LIKELIHOOD
e.g. probability of hazard occuring.
Assessment
This assessment shall be carried out using the following scores;

For the likelihood of a hazard occuring, allocate a figure from the horizontal axis on the chart above, and record the reason.
Assess how severe the impact would be on food safety / customer health by allocating a value from the vertical axis, and record the reason.

Record the risk by multiplying the score.

Likelihood
Risk Assessment 3 2 1
Probable. Occasional Improbable
3. Critical 9 6 3
Impact

2. Serious 6 4 2
1. Negligible 3 2 1

Red Food Safety Risk if not controlled. Priority should be given to addressing these issues.
Yellow Potential for Food Safety Risk if not controlled.

Green
Low food safety issue but relevant controls amy still be needed to comply with quality, legal or customer issues.
