ISO Awareness Training

Objectives: To understand the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 22000:2005 as applicable to
Accra City hotel

ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization

It is a worldwide federation (body) which publishes International standards has developed over 22000
diferent standards from steel to films speeds etc.

ISO helps to facilitate world trade through standardization

Standards are documents that provide requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that
can be used to consistently ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their
purpose.

Standards published by ISO include 9001 – Quality management systems, ISO 31000 – Risk
management, ISO 500001 – Energy management, ISO 3166 – Country codes (to avoid confusion when
referring to countries, ISO 37001 Anti-bribery management systems, etc.

ISO is not an acronym: In French it is Organisation Internationale de normalization (OIN) in England ()

Because IOS (English), would have different acronyms in different languages, the short form ISO was
chosen, meaning equal

Accra City has chosen ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management Systems and ISO 22000:2005
(Food Safety Management Systems)

These have been merged into a Food Safety and Environmental Management System (FSEMS)

The standard is divided into clauses, each specifying a unique requirement

The advantage of implementing this system-


a. Helps prevent or mitigating adverse environmental impacts, meet compliance obligations,
achieve financial and operational benefits
Improve image and credibility, comply with legal requirements, improve cost control
(reduce environmental incidents, costs, fines, energy and water conservations), data
collection and high success rate, improvement, less employee turnover

b. Safe food production, save fines, guest confidence, cut waste and losses
The hotel thus has an IMS policy which establishes their objectives for implementing the IMS and

A summary of our IMS Policy is as follows:

 To provide safe and wholesome meals by implementing HACCP and requirements of ISO
22000:2005
 To protect the environment, prevent environmental pollution and meet requirements of ISO
14001:2015
 Comply with all applicable legal obligations, food safety obligations and requirements of clients
 Monitor, audit and review IMS policy
 Provide requirements for meeting the policy and communicate it to all staff and external bodies

Kitchen

In summary, the kitchen is the Focal point of our FSEMS.

Clause 7 of the ISO 22000:2005 standard covers HACCP (Hazard analysis and Critical Control Points)
which in summary, is a systematic approach to ensuring food safety by eliminating, controlling or
preventing the occurrence of hazards which have been predetermined using a hazard analysis.

HACCP involves 7 main steps.

1. Conduct a hazard analysis


2. Establish critical control points at which these hazards occur so that they can be eliminated
3. Set critical limits which should not be exceeded at (This defines acceptability/ unacceptability)
4. Determine corrective actions to implement when the critical limits are exceeded
5. Establish a system for monitoring the control points at which hazards will occur
6. Establish a verification system for the system to check performance
7. Validate the system for continual improvement

Prior to setting up a HACCP system, there is the need to set up Pre-requisite programs which are basic
routine good housekeeping or manufacturing practices that are needed for Good hygiene.

Accra City hotel has 22 PRPs Namely (Layout of premises, Water Supply, Equipment and utensils,
Personnel hygiene, ), 3 OPRPs and 3 Critical control points

OPRPs- PRPs identified by the hazard analysis as essential in order to control the likelihood of
introducing food safety hazards and/or contamination or proliferation of food safety hazards in the
product(s) or in the processing environment
Critical control points are steps at which controls can be applied and is essential to prevent or eliminate
a food safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level.

Corrective action – action to eliminate the cause of a detected nonconformity or other desirable
situation

Validation – obtaining evidence that the control measures managed by the HACCP plan and the OPRPs
are capable of being effective

Verification – Confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence, that specified requirements
have been fulfilled

ACH has an ISO team which doubles as the HACCP team to ensure the objectives of the IMS are being
implemented according to documented procedure

The IMS system is covered by 36 Mandatory SOPs which satisfies the mandatory requirements of
