Customers and shareholders increasingly demand that businesses diminish the environmental impact from their business, demonstrate what they do, and how they improve.

Developed countries are imposing regulations on organizations to help them manage and reduce their impact on the Environment. New, increasingly complex legislation is making environmental management a major business imperative.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) is a preventative approach or 'risk assessment' tool for identifying hazards, determining the risks associated with those hazards and the implementation of programmes to reduce, eliminate or manage these risks within the food chain. This approach was developed from the concept of Failure Mode Effects Analysis or FMEA. The key controls used are called critical control points where predetermined points for quantifiable reduction or elimination of a hazard are identified and have to be managed.

The principles of HACCP are outlined in the Codex Alimentarius basic hygiene texts, which can be downloaded from Pre-requisite programmes define general control measures of operational and environmental conditions necessary for the production of safe food.
