2.3 Did employees responsible for monitoring of CCPs knew parameters and critical limits at CCPs
for which they were responsible?
2.4 Did supervisor of HACCP system knew parameters and critical limits for all established CCPs?
Result of the assessment:
Final score:
Block 3 Step 9. Principle IV. Monitoring of CCPs
3.1 Did the CCP monitoring procedures were available to employees responsible for each CCP?
3.2 Did employees knew the monitoring procedure at the CCP for which they are responsible?

for food safety?
3.4 Were results of CCPs monitoring recorded regularly?
3.5 Were entries in CCPs control cards completed?
3.6 Were results of CCPs monitoring regularly evaluated by supervisor or competent person?
3.7 Were control cards located at easily accessible place which allowed records keeping?
Result of the assessment:
Final score:
Block 4 Step 10. Principle V. Establish corrective action
4.1 Did employees working in the CCP area knew procedures of corrective action at the CCP for
which they are responsible?
4.2 Could employees responsible for the CCP explain the way of action in case of exceeding the
critical limit at the CCP?
4.3 Whether employees responsible for corrective actions at the CCP for which they are responsible
were aware of their responsibility for food safety?
4.4 Were corrective actions always took when control was lost in all the CCP?
4.5 Were control cards located at easily accessible place which allowed records keeping?
4.6 Were records of actions taken in line with the procedures of corrective actions?
Result of the assessment:

regarding HACCP system implementation, for five preliminary
steps values from 1 to 5, and for steps 6 to 12, reflecting HACCP
system principles, values from 6 to 9 were assigned (Table 3).
Values of these coefficients were established according to the auditor’s
and authors own experience.
The O parameter values were calculated as mean of scores obtained
during audit for particular block of questions (Table 4). It was
assumed that the higher the score, the lower the incidence of
nonconformity. The D parameter i.e. detectability of nonconformity
was understood as possibility of nonconformity detection in the
system without the need for audit (Table 5).
The axis of food safety risk levels was elaborated. The axis was
divided into four risk categories: minor, moderate, high and critical.
Calculated risks (R), depending on the value, were assigned to a
relevant risk level on the scale (Fig. 2).
3. Results and discussion
In this study we tried to identify which elements of HACCP
system functioning in practice pose the greatest risk to food safety.
The selection of the two food enterprises with a similar profile
proved that despite many similarities HACCP system can function
quite differently. The re
