HAZARD ANALYSIS & CRITICAL CONTROL POINT
HACCP Food Safety System Consultancy
Practical HACCP consultancy, documentation development, hazard analysis, critical control point identification, implementation, verification and audit-readiness support to help food businesses establish and maintain an effective food safety control system.
What Is HACCP?
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a science-based and systematic approach for identifying significant food safety hazards and establishing control measures to prevent, eliminate or reduce those hazards to acceptable levels.
HACCP focuses on preventive control throughout the food process rather than relying mainly on end-product testing. Under the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene, HACCP is implemented through seven principles and a structured 12-step application process, supported by effective Good Hygiene Practices (GHPs).
Key Benefits of HACCP
HACCP provides a systematic and preventive approach to food safety by identifying significant hazards, establishing appropriate controls, monitoring critical points and verifying that the food safety system remains effective.
Systematic Food Safety Hazard Control
Identify and evaluate significant biological, chemical, physical and other relevant food safety hazards and establish appropriate preventive control measures throughout the food process.
Critical Control Point Management
Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs), establish validated critical limits, implement monitoring arrangements and take corrective action when deviations occur.
Verification, Records & Food Safety Confidence
Validate and verify the HACCP system, maintain appropriate documentation and records, strengthen operational control and provide evidence that significant food safety hazards are effectively managed.
What Does a HACCP System Cover?
A HACCP system covers the systematic identification, evaluation and control of significant food safety hazards. Under the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene, HACCP is applied through seven principles covering hazard analysis, determination of Critical Control Points, critical limits, monitoring, corrective action, validation and verification, and documentation and record keeping.
Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points
HACCP Principles 1–2
Conduct a hazard analysis to identify significant food safety hazards and determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs) where control is essential to prevent, eliminate or reduce hazards to acceptable levels.
Critical Limits, Monitoring & Corrective Action
HACCP Principles 3–5
Establish validated critical limits for each CCP, define monitoring procedures to confirm control and establish corrective actions to be taken when monitoring indicates a deviation from established limits.
Validation, Verification & Records
HACCP Principles 6–7
Validate the HACCP plan and establish verification procedures to confirm that the HACCP system operates effectively, while maintaining appropriate documentation and records as evidence of implementation and control.

Borneo Consultancy provides practical end-to-end HACCP support tailored to your organisation’s food products, processes, food safety hazards, operational activities, legal and customer requirements, audit objectives and existing food safety controls.
HACCP Gap Assessment
Review existing food safety practices, Good Hygiene Practices, process controls, documentation and HACCP arrangements to identify gaps, priorities and implementation requirements.
Hazard Analysis & Risk Assessment
Identify and evaluate significant biological, chemical, physical and other relevant food safety hazards associated with ingredients, processes, products and intended use.
HACCP Plan Development
Develop or improve product descriptions, process flow diagrams, hazard analysis worksheets, CCP determination, critical limits, monitoring procedures, corrective actions and HACCP records.
CCP Monitoring & Operational Control
Establish practical monitoring arrangements, responsibilities, frequencies, records and corrective-action requirements for identified Critical Control Points and supporting food safety controls.
Verification, Validation & Internal Review
Support validation of control measures, verification activities, record review, internal assessment and corrective actions to confirm that the HACCP system remains effective.
Audit & Certification Readiness Support
Review HACCP documentation and implementation evidence, address outstanding gaps and prepare your organisation for customer, regulatory or applicable HACCP certification audits.
Our HACCP Implementation Process
Our structured HACCP implementation approach helps food organisations progress from initial food safety assessment through hazard analysis, HACCP plan development, implementation, verification and audit readiness.
01
Initial Food Safety Assessment & Gap Analysis
Review the organisation’s products, processes, process flow, existing hygiene practices, prerequisite programmes, food safety controls and documented information to identify gaps and establish HACCP implementation priorities.
02
Hazard Analysis & HACCP Plan Development
Assemble relevant HACCP information, verify process flow, identify and evaluate significant food safety hazards, determine Critical Control Points (CCPs), establish critical limits, monitoring arrangements and corrective actions.
03
Implementation, Monitoring & Verification
Implement the HACCP plan, train responsible personnel, maintain monitoring records, verify CCP controls and supporting food safety measures, review deviations and corrective actions, and confirm that the HACCP system operates effectively.
04
Audit & Readiness Review
Conduct a final review of HACCP documentation and implementation evidence, verify closure of outstanding gaps and prepare the organisation for customer, regulatory or applicable third-party HACCP audits and certification assessments.
Who Is HACCP Suitable For?
HACCP is suitable for food businesses involved in the preparation, processing, handling, storage, distribution and service of food. It is particularly relevant to organisations that need systematic control of significant food safety hazards and documented evidence that critical controls are effectively implemented.
Food Manufacturing & Processing
Suitable for food manufacturers, processors, beverage producers, ingredient manufacturers and other production facilities requiring systematic hazard analysis and control of significant food safety hazards.
Food Service, Catering & Central Kitchens
Suitable for restaurants, catering companies, hotels, central kitchens, institutional food services and other organisations preparing or serving food where hygiene and critical process controls are essential.
Food Storage, Distribution & Supply Chain
Suitable for warehouses, cold-chain operators, distributors, transport providers and other food-chain organisations responsible for maintaining food safety conditions during storage, handling and distribution.
Why Choose Borneo Consultancy for HACCP?

Practical HACCP Implementation
We focus on practical HACCP controls that can be implemented and maintained within your organisation’s actual food processes, production activities and operating conditions.
Tailored HACCP Documentation
We develop hazard analysis worksheets, process flow diagrams, HACCP plans, CCP monitoring forms, corrective action records, verification records and supporting food safety documentation tailored to your products and processes.
Audit-Readiness Support
We support HACCP review, verification, corrective action, documentation checks and implementation evidence to help your organisation prepare confidently for customer, regulatory or applicable certification audits.
Continual Food Safety Improvement
Our support can continue beyond initial implementation to help maintain HACCP effectiveness, review process changes, address audit findings and continually improve food safety controls.
