 Risk Assessment
 Risk assessment, in the context of safety, refers to the identification
of potential hazards in the workplace as well as the likelihood that
they will occur.
 By extension, risk assessment should also involve the
implementation of measures to reduce or mitigate those hazards.
 Risk assessment is a fundamental part of health and safety
management
 Risk Management
 Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and
controlling threats to an organization's capital and earnings.
 These threats, also known as risks, could come in the form of
financial uncertainty, legal liabilities, strategic management errors,
accidents, and natural disasters.
 Importance
Risk management is an important aspect of any organization's operations,
as it helps to ensure the stability and success of the organization by
minimizing the impact of risks on its financial and operational
performance.
 Ensuring the safety and quality of dairy products
 Protecting public health
 Reducing the risk of accidents and injuries
 Maintaining the reputation and credibility of the dairy industry
 Risk assessment and management in dairy processing refers to the
process of identifying, evaluating, and controlling potential risks or
hazards that may arise during the production, processing, and
handling of dairy products.
 This is an important step in ensuring the safety and quality of dairy
products and protecting the health of consumers
Cont…

 There are several key components to risk assessment and

management in dairy processing
1. Identifying risks
2. Evaluating risks:
3. Controlling risks
4. Monitoring and review
 Identifying Risk
 This involves identifying all potential risks or hazards that may
arise during dairy processing, including
1) Physical Risks
2) Chemical Risks
3) Biological Risks
4) Environmental Risks
 Evaluating Risk
 Once the risks have been identified, they must be evaluated in order
to determine their likelihood and potential impact.
 This includes considering the likelihood of the risk occurring.
 The potential severity of the consequences, and the likelihood of
the risk being controlled or mitigated.
 Controlling Risk
 After the risks have been identified and evaluated, appropriate
measures must be taken to control or mitigate them.
 This may include implementing preventative measures such as
improving hygiene practices, installing appropriate safety
equipment, or implementing quality control measures
 Monitoring and Review
 Risk assessment and management should be an ongoing process,
with risks monitored and reviewed regularly to ensure that they are
being effectively managed and controlled.
 Monitoring and review helps to ensure that risks are being
effectively managed and controlled in dairy processing, and allows
for timely corrective action to be taken if necessary.
 Improvements
 Implementing good manufacturing practices (GMPs)
 Implementing hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP)
systems
 Improving hygiene practices
 Installing appropriate safety equipment
 Implementing quality control measures
 Conducting regular risk assessments and reviews
 Conclusion
 Overall, risk assessment and management in dairy processing is
essential for :
 Ensuring the safety and quality of dairy products
 Protecting the health of consumers
 Maintaining the reputation
 Credibility of the dairy industry
