Transfer all processes that have associated hazards from Forms 3, 3a and 3b to this section. Answer each of the 5 questions relating to each to determine how the potential hazard is controlled. If you have added processes not identified on the generic plan, be sure to document your reasons for identifying the hazard and its control. When a hazard is identified on this form as being controlled by a GMP/GOP, ensure it is clear in the referenced GMP/GOP how the hazard is controlled.
| Process | Type | Hazard Description | 1. Is hazard controlled by a pre-requisite program? If yes, identify the GMP/GOP. If yes, do not proceed to next question. |
2. Is hazard likely to exceed acceptable levels? If no, do not proceed to next question. |
3. Could a control measure be used at any step? If no, add this process to Form 6. |
4. Is this control measure designed to eliminate / reduce this hazard? | 5. Will this hazard be eliminated / reduced to acceptable level later? |
