Key Points

Some examples of biological, chemical, and physical hazards are:

Hazard Element

Physical hazards
  • Nails
  • Hair strands
  • Dust and dirt
  • Jewellery
  • Glass and metal pieces

Chemical hazards
  • Disinfectants
  • Cleaning agents
  • Pesticides
  • Antibiotics
  • Veterinary medicine

Biological hazards
  • Bacteria
  • Virus

  • Plant pest
  • Rodents and insects

 

Additional Information

  • To prevent the occurrence of hazards, a preventive measure is applied known as Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point (HACCP). It is a powerful food safety management technique and a proven and structured method for hazard identification and control.
  • It consists of a total of 12 steps, the first 5 steps are preliminary steps, and the remaining are the 7 principles of HACCP.
  • History: NASA and Pillsbury jointly developed the HACCP system in 1960 for US Space Research Program, because they required "zero risk" food products for astronauts.
