Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Involve management and staff in developing the quality system
  • Involve relevant staff members and managers in clarifying purpose and scope of program
  • Clearly define workplace needs and expectations
  • Incorporate other systems, including AUS-MEAT, workplace health and safety and meat inspection according to workplace needs
       
Element: Establish the scope of the system
  • Define the scope of the HACCP-based QA system to encompass food safety, quality, regulatory compliance, animal welfare and preventative maintenance
  • Set up the system to prevent and control food safety hazards and other hazards, including product quality and workplace health and safety hazards
  • Seek consensus from relevant workplace areas on coverage and scope of system
       
Element: Conduct hazard analysis and assessment
  • Assess every step in the production process for potential food safety hazards
  • Establish critical control points (CCPs) to identify methods for preventing and controlling significant hazards
  • Establish critical limits for each CCP
  • Assign measurable or recognisable standards for each CCP to define the critical limits
  • Technically and scientifically validate critical limits
       
Element: Ensure all documents, work procedures and processes required for the system are developed, available and in use
  • Describe all products and processes covered by the HACCP-based QA system in a standardised format defining product characteristics relevant to food safety
  • Review work instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for accuracy, relevancy and sufficiency to prevent potential hazards
  • Implement documented procedures for monitoring CCPs
  • Implement documented procedures designed to ensure any CCPs that are out of control are brought back under control, and any affected products are suitably handled
  • Implement documented procedures to ensure the whole HACCP-based QA system is regularly audited and verified as working effectively
  • Ensure availability, currency and current usage of all documents and records required for system
       
Element: Audit, verify and validate the system
  • Routinely revise, verify and validate HACCP plan through reassessing hazards, CCPs, critical limits, testing methods, and all related HACCP system procedures, to ensure their ongoing relevancy to plant operations
  • Take corrective action and record follow-up on audit findings
  • Review HACCP-based QA system to account for any process or product changes
       

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
