Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Apply a HAT to an existing process
   • Identify CCPs
   • Recognise CCFs which are outside of or approaching CCLs
   • Describe hazard related to CCFs and CCLs
   • Implement corrective action in accordance with HAT

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Regulatory framework	The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following: Codex Alimentarius legislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS) industry codes of practice and guidelines environmental regulations and guidelines Australian and other standards licence and certification requirements
Procedures	All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures. Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or more of the following: work instructions standard operating procedures (SOPs) safe work method statements (SWMS) formulas/recipes batch sheets temporary instructions any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant.
Hazards	Hazards include one or more of the following: biological chemical physical product contamination material contamination methods/routes of exposure and contamination
Non-routine problems	Non-routine problems must be resolved by applying operational knowledge to develop new solutions, either individually or in collaboration with relevant experts to: determine problems needing action determine possible fault causes develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution follow through items initiated until final resolution has occurred report problems outside area of responsibility to designated person Non-routine problems are unexpected problems, or variations of previous problems and include one or more of the following recognising CCFs approaching the CCLs determining corrective action from HAT applying HACCP principles to situations not directly covered by HAT recognising the need for a new/modified HACCP/HAT modifying HACCP/HAT to meet changes circumstances Operational knowledge includes one or more of the following: procedures training technical information, such as journals and engineering specifications remembered experience relevant knowledge obtained from appropriate people

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:

recognise HACCP/HAT issues and take appropriate corrective action

analyse process and material variations in terms of the HACCP and determine appropriate actions

apply HACCP principles to develop a new and/or modify and existing HACCP as part of a team

communicate effectively with relevant personnel to convey technical information

apply operational knowledge to non-routine problems

write technical reports and HACCP/HAT tables

interpret quantitative data, make comparisons and interpretations.

---

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

'seven principles' of HACCP

importance of CCPs, CCFs and CCLs

relevance of HAT to routine production

impacts of variations in materials, process and product on HACCP.
