This inservice has been designed to be 30 minutes in length and to be used as a tool to train foodservice employees. We have written an outline for what we see as important steps in studying this inservice topic. However, it’s up to you to prepare in advance and tailor your inservice to your employees. Consider:
Employees’ backgrounds and experience levels
Problems or areas for improvement specific to your facility
Specific department or facility policies relevant to this topic
Specific local standards relevant to this topic
While planning how you’ll approach your inservice, keep in mind that participants remember:
70% of what they talk over with others — discussion
80% of what they use and do — projects, scenarios
95% of what they teach others — one-on-one training, student presentations
The more involved and focused participants are, the more they will absorb. It is important to keep communication flowing throughout the lecture by continuously involving the participants. You can accomplish this by asking questions, having participants read handouts aloud, and asking for examples of concepts and standards.
To be fully effective, training should begin on a new employee’s first day. Then it should be continually reviewed — even for long-term employees. And, you can strengthen lessons learned by setting a good example, actively enforcing policies, and recognizing and rewarding a job well done.

Identify the basic purpose of HACCP.
List the seven steps of HACCP.
Explain key HACCP terms.
Relate HACCP to time and temperature logs and/or other procedures.

Outline
Define HACCP: Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point system, developed to ensure a safe food supply for astronauts.
• Emphasizes prevention rather than inspection.
• Involves identifying potential hazards, establishing preventive or control measures and ongoing monitoring to ensure that standards or critical limits are met. Why do we need HACCP? It:
• Places final responsibility for food safety on the food establishment.
• Allows the regulatory agency to better determine the level of compliance with food safety guidelines by providing information on current and past conditions.
• Emphasizes industry’s role in continuous problem-solving, rather than relying on periodic inspections. Distribute Handouts: Steps in a HACCP System, HACCP Terms.

HACCP involves seven steps: Step 1 - Analyze hazards: biological, physical, chemical.
• Examples of hazards include: bacteria, viruses, chemicals, glass fragments.
• HACCP follows the flow of food through a foodservice operation.
• There can be risks of contamination at any of these points: receiving, storage, pre-prep, cooking, serving, cooling, reheating.
• Hazard analysis means: determining the risks or hazards associated with food production and service.
Step 2 - Identify Critical Control Points.
• Define critical control point (CCP): a point, step, or procedure at which control can be applied and a food safety hazard can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable levels.
• Another way to think of a CCP is as our last chance to make sure food is safe. It’s our last opportunity in the flow of food to do something to control possible hazards.
• CCPs include: cooking, chilling, specific sanitation procedures, prevention of cross contamination, employee hygiene (give some examples).
Step 3 - Establish critical limits for preventive measures.
• Define critical limits: specified limits or characteristics of a physical, chemical, or biological nature.
• We most often use temperature, held for a specified period of time.
• What tool helps us measure critical limits? [Employees’ answers should include: a thermometer].
Step 4 - Establish procedures to monitor CCPs.
• We may monitor through visual observations, temperature, or time.
• A foodservice operator may develop flow charts for specific foods and identify associated CCPs, critical limits, and monitoring/record-keeping systems.
• Another practice is to identify HACCP information on recipes.
• The person responsible for monitoring HACCP-related procedures must document, and sign or initial all records.
Step 5 - Establish the corrective action to be taken when monitoring shows that a critical limit has been exceeded.
• Determine how food was produced when a problem occurred.
• Correct the cause of the problem.
• Maintain records of corrective actions.
Step 6 - Establish effective record-keeping systems that document HACCP activity.
• [Show examples of the records you use, and explain how they fit into the HACCP plan.]
Step 7 - Establish procedures to verify that the HACCP system is working.
• A manager and designated staff members periodically review CCP records.
• Inspections are also important. Now, let’s look at an example. [Bring your recipe for a product, and ask employees to help list: the potentially hazardous food(s), the CCP, and the critical limit. Now, discuss how you check that the critical limit is met. Finally, discuss how you document this.]

Resources & Supplies Meal of Misfortune game wheel and spinner.
Flip chart & pen.
Play the Meal of Misfortune game and review types of hazards and foodborne illnesses.
Directions: First, draw blanks on the flip chart for each letter of the answer. For example, if you are going to have the employees guess “Norwalk,” then draw seven blanks as follows:
The game board is divided into sections. Each section represents a clue. Have a participant spin the spinner on the board. From whatever section the spinner lands on, give the group a clue. At the same time, on the flip chart, write a letter from the name of the organism. The object of the game is to identify the organism with as few clues as possible.
While this game can be played with any organism and clues, the table below lists a few organisms and accompanying clues that could be used.

Control Point: any point, step, or procedure where hazards can be controlled. Example: Store potentially hazardous food in the refrigerator at or below 41˚F.
Critical Control Point (CCP): any process, step, or procedure where hazards can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable levels (our last chance to make sure food is safe) Example: Cooking a ground beef patty: The final cooking is the critical control point.
Critical Limit: the measurements for a critical control point. Example: Cook to an endpoint temperature of 155°F and maintain for at least 15 seconds.
Corrective Action: the procedure to follow when a critical limit is not met. Example: If the beef patty is not hot enough, return it to the grill and re-check soon.
