The candidate must:

  • develop an implementation plan
  • develop and document work instructions and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
  • establish and validate critical limits
  • explain the process flow chart for the rendering operation
  • form, instruct and lead a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) team
  • identify and observe workplace health and safety requirements
  • identify and manage environmental hazards
  • identify corrective action
  • identify CCPs for QA monitoring
  • identify hazards
  • implement the QA program
  • mentor staff implementing the procedures
  • prepare a HACCP chart for rendering operations
  • use relevant communication skills
  • verify the program using sampling, testing and auditing

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate a broad factual, technical and theoretical knowledge of:

  • verification and validation procedures
  • regulations, standards and workplace requirements affecting rendering operations

Assessment Conditions

Assessment can be conducted in actual or simulated environments.

The following three forms of assessment must be used:
