Using contaminated equipment ays to Achieve active managerial control in the operation W 1. Training programs 2. Manager supervision 3. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) 4. HACCP ritical points to the success of active managerial control: C 1. Monitoring critical activities in the operation 2. Taking the necessary corrective action when required 3. Verifying that the actions taken control the risks factors ACCP- Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point H 1. HACCP is based on identifying significant biological, chemical, or physical hazards at specific points within a product's flow through an operation 2. Once identified, hazards can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to safe levels n effective HACCP system must be based on a written place A 1. It must be specific to each facility's menu, customer base, equipment, processes, and operations 2. A plan that works for one operation may not work for another even HACCP principles S 1.
