ISO 22000 Lead Implementer Training — Lesson 2: Planning Prerequisite Programmes, Hazard Analysis, Control Measures, OPRPs, and CCPs

Learning Objectives

• Interpret the purpose, responsibilities, inputs, and decision points shaping planning prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, control measures, oprps, and ccps.
• Apply the workflow and produce food-safety hazard and control worksheet that another practitioner can review.
• Analyze “a significant hazard is assigned no validated control measure” and recommend a proportionate, evidence-based response.

Detailed Topics

• prerequisite programmes
• hazard identification
• hazard analysis
• control measure selection
• operational prerequisite programmes
• critical control points
• critical limits
• validation
• Governance, competence, communication, documentation, validation, risk, and follow-up considerations

Instructor Demonstration

The instructor demonstrates the planning prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, control measures, oprps, and ccps workflow, identifies applicable responsibilities, records checkpoints in food-safety hazard and control worksheet, and contrasts the accepted state with a condition where a significant hazard is assigned no validated control measure.

Hands-On Exercise

Complete a controlled implementation, management, audit, assessment, foundation, introduction, or transition exercise for Planning Prerequisite Programmes, Hazard Analysis, Control Measures, OPRPs, and CCPs. Establish scope and criteria, collect or create evidence, examine “a significant hazard is assigned no validated control measure,” reach a supported conclusion, and preserve the result in food-safety hazard and control worksheet.

1. Confirm objectives, scope, roles, criteria, stakeholders, and expected outputs.
2. Perform the planned activities while recording assumptions, evidence, and decisions.
3. Test a normal case, an exception, and a follow-up or improvement condition.
4. Document conclusions, owners, due dates, escalation, and verification requirements.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the requirement or principle with the strongest influence on planning prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, control measures, oprps, and ccps.
• Compare two defensible responses and explain their governance, risk, and evidence trade-offs.
• Determine how the food-safety hazard and control worksheet should be approved, retained, reviewed, and updated.

Troubleshooting Guidance

Separate missing evidence from ineffective practice, and distinguish a documentation issue from a control, process, governance, or competence failure. Use food-safety hazard and control worksheet to trace the earliest divergence. Treat “a significant hazard is assigned no validated control measure” as a hypothesis until the response is validated against the applicable requirement and intended outcome.

Validation Checklist

• The scope, criteria, stakeholders, and intended outcome for planning prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, control measures, oprps, and ccps are explicit.
• The food-safety hazard and control worksheet links statements and decisions to objective, reviewable support.
• Responsibilities, competence, communication, risk, legal duties, and change impact were considered where relevant.
• Findings, corrective actions, monitoring, review triggers, and improvement ownership are clear.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can apply Planning Prerequisite Programmes, Hazard Analysis, Control Measures, OPRPs, and CCPs, explain the reasoning used, and defend the result through food-safety hazard and control worksheet.
