[ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY] FACTORY INSPECTION

Introduction
Factory inspection is a procedure to make sure that the owner of the factory is
following the standard to operate their factory. Usually, this inspection is done There are
a few criteria that considered during the inspection such as cleanliness of surrounding
preparation area, certificate of typhoid injection for all food handlers and method of
keeping and handling of raw materials. Here we are doing Hazard Analysis ritical
ontrol !oint "HA!# in order to determine the factory is following the standard to
operate or not.
HA! is used to descri$ed steps in food processing operation where rapid
micro$iological, chemical or physical can $e used with good assurance and in a
reasona$le time to assess and control the potential for pathogenic or other micro$ial
growth as well as pre%ent en%ironment contamination of the food with unsafe su$stance
which would render the product unfit to eat, harmful and possi$ly illegal. The concept of
control descri$es those methods such as monitoring pH, time&temperature recording and
others that could $e used in place of after the fact micro$ial or chemical analysis, to
control the process on'line so that the product is always made safely. According to the
(ational Ad%isory ommittee on )icro$iological riteria for Foods "(A)F#, HA!
is the responsi$ility of the food and implement HA! plans and for regulatory agencies
to facilitate this process. Here we will adapt HA! in making sweet potato scratch

!rinciples of HA!
!. Conduct ha"ards analysis
+etermining the potential hazards and asses the se%erity and risks. The
hazard can $e physical, chemical and $iological hazard.
2. #denti$y or %etermine Critical Control Points (CCPs)
After hazards ha%e $een identified with se%erity and risk had $een
assessed through step'$y'step preparation of a food, ! can $e
determined. A ! is an operation which control measures will $e
implements to eliminate, pre%ent or minimize the hazards.
&. 'sta(lish critical limits at each CCP
riteria for controlling hazards must $e specified. These come from
recommendations according to in%estigations of food $orne out$reaks,
research data and specified re=uirements in food safety regulations or
code of practices.
). 'sta(lish monitoring procedures
For the HA! system to function properly, critical control points "critical
operations# must $e monitored. )onitoring is done $y persons in%ol%ed
with the operation.

[ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY] FACTORY INSPECTION
*. 'sta(lish Control or Corrective Action Procedures
Ahene%er the results of monitoring indicate that the criteria are not met or
the process is out of control, immediate action must $e taken to correct
the situation. Assessment of hazards and risks dictates appropriate
action.
+. 'sta(lish veri$ication procedures
HA! should $e %erified. (o matter who de%elops a HA! system, an
outside party should %erify that correct ! ha%e $een selected, effecti%e
criteria for control ha%e $een specified, control measures are in place and
monitoring procedures are the most effecti%e that are a%aila$le.
,. 'sta(lish documentation procedures- as appropriate
This will include records of hazards and their control methods, the
monitoring of safety re=uirements and action taken to correct potential
pro$lems.
