RSPH Level 3 Award in Understanding How to Develop a HACCP Plan

Purpose of the Qualification

The RSPH Level 3 Award in Understanding How to Develop a HACCP Plan is designed to provide learners with a solid understanding of how to create, manage and supervise a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system within a food business.

HACCP is a widely recognised and practical approach to food safety management. It focuses on identifying potential hazards in food production processes and implementing controls at critical points to reduce or eliminate risks. This qualification introduces the key stages involved in designing and implementing a HACCP-based food safety system and outlines how to monitor its effectiveness over time.

It is suitable for those who need to understand how a HACCP system is developed, rather than how to apply it day-to-day, and is ideal for those in supervisory or planning roles within food production or processing environments.

What the Course Covers

Learners will explore the following areas:

  • The significance of HACCP-based food safety management procedures
  • Preliminary steps in developing HACCP plans, including hazard identification and risk analysis
  • How to determine critical control points and establish monitoring procedures
  • Corrective actions to be taken when control measures are not met
  • How to evaluate and review HACCP procedures for ongoing effectiveness
  • Legal requirements related to HACCP and industry best practices

By the end of the course, learners will have the knowledge and confidence to contribute meaningfully to the design and maintenance of a HACCP-based food safety system. They will also be well-prepared to supervise teams or support existing HACCP coordinators in ensuring regulatory compliance.
