The Authentica HACCP Workshop,

incorporating Hazard and Risk Management (HARM*)

BRC and ISO Standards (such as ISO22000) require the application of HACCP to develop Food Safety and Hazard and Risk based management systems. Authentica has long taken a lead in offering pragmatic and practical solutions; these form the basis of this workshop. A combination of practical exercises - including shop-floor assessments in your own factory - and preparation of actual HACCP documentation, assure a successful outcome.
