How to Use This Template
This template focuses specifically on food safety risks in your operation — separate from your general event risk assessment and HACCP plan. It covers cross-contamination risks between raw and cooked foods, allergen cross-contact, personal hygiene failures, temperature abuse during storage and transport, pest contamination, chemical contamination from cleaning products, and physical contamination (hair, plasters, equipment fragments).
Walk through your entire food handling process from delivery to service. For each stage, identify what could go wrong and what you do to prevent it. Be specific: "Raw chicken stored on bottom shelf of fridge in sealed containers, separate colour-coded chopping boards (red for raw meat)" shows an inspector you've thought it through.
This assessment works alongside your HACCP plan but focuses on the broader risk picture rather than critical control points alone. Environmental health officers expect to see that you understand the food safety risks specific to your operation and have practical controls in place. It's particularly important if you handle allergens, serve raw or undercooked items, or operate in challenging environments like outdoor events.
