What I do is a verification of the company's reassessment of their HACCP program, which is supposed to be done on a yearly basis. When I get into the company, I review their written program for the HACCP system to make sure they have addressed certain criteria. For example, have they done an analysis of the risk that is involved in their process? Who is actually doing the function in terms of the monitoring, and exactly what and how are they monitoring? If the monitoring function fails, it is called a deviation. Then there are the steps taken by the company to ensure that the process is brought under control again.
There is also the verification system in which the company, at a certain frequency, will have to verify that the monitor is doing the job as in the written program, and we'll perform an on-site verification of that task—that is, the company's person—and where this data is recorded each time a function is performed. That is my job.
