What Is a HACCP Plan?
What a HACCP plan must contain, a worked example for a restaurant, the records that go with it and how small Irish food businesses use the FSAI Safe Catering pack.
A HACCP plan is the written document that records how a food business controls food safety hazards: its products, its process flow, the hazards at each step, the critical control points, the limits, who monitors what and how, what happens when something goes wrong and what records are kept. It is the document an Environmental Health Officer asks for on inspection, and the daily records prove it is alive.

Customer Reviews
HACCP Course Reviews, What Our Learners Say
Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.

Why Choose Us
Why Train With the HACCP Specialists?
Discover why workers and businesses in Ireland, from Dublin, Cork, Galway and beyond, choose Irish HACCP for haccp training.
The haccp course at Irish HACCP fits Ireland working life perfectly. From Dublin's construction cranes and Cork's pharma plants to Galway's medtech campuses, Limerick's manufacturing belt and the farms, hotels, warehouses and hospitals in every county between, Irish workplaces run on certified, compliant staff. Instead of losing a day to a classroom, learners in Ireland complete the full accredited training online, in about 1-2 hours, from home or straight from the workplace.
Local employers know exactly what they are looking at when your certificate arrives: CPD Certified, RoSPA approved, HSA aligned training from a provider used by businesses across every county in Ireland. The unique verification code on every certificate makes checks instant, whether you work in Dublin, Cork or Galway.
For businesses, the free Employer Dashboard turns a team rollout into one afternoon of work: bulk registration, live progress and every haccp certificate in one clean screen, with automatic volume discounts applied at checkout.
Most providers sell HACCP as one course among dozens. At Irish HACCP it is the entire business, and the depth shows: every hazard group, every temperature rule and every record gets proper treatment instead of a passing mention.
The syllabus tracks exactly what EHOs expect: hazard groups, personal hygiene, storage and separation, cooking and chilling temperatures, cleaning schedules, pest awareness and living HACCP routines.
The result is a HACCP course that EHOs and food business owners recognise as genuinely specialist, backed by a certificate they trust on sight.
Hospitality schedules leave no room for fixed course dates. Every lesson streams on any device, every pause saves your place, and nothing needs installing.
Start the food safety training after close, continue before opening and finish on a day off. Progress syncs across every device automatically, so split shift and weekend staff get exactly the same experience.
No classroom day, no travel, no waiting list: enrol now, certify today, work tomorrow.
Pass the assessment and the digital HACCP certificate is generated on the spot, aligned with Irish and EU food law and recognised across Ireland, the UK and Europe.
It lives permanently in your account for re-download during EHO inspections, job applications and insurance renewals, and its unique verification code lets any inspector confirm it instantly.
For job hunters, the HACCP certificate opens every kitchen, cafe and food shop door in Ireland.
Every module comes from licensed, Chartered (CMIOSH) consultants who know exactly what Irish EHOs check on inspection day.
That experience shows: proper handwashing technique, raw and cooked separation that survives a rush, core temperature checks done right and HACCP records that take minutes rather than hours.
Content is re-reviewed against current Irish and EU food legislation and national food safety guidance, so the HACCP course never drifts out of date.
A classroom HACCP day means lost shifts, travel and cover costs, multiplied by every team member. The online HACCP course removes all of it.
Staff certify from home or the staff room, starting the moment you enrol them, and managers can show an EHO the complete training record in seconds.
Pricing is honest: one figure covers the full course, unlimited retakes and the instant HACCP certificate. No add ons, ever.
The free Employer Dashboard registers staff in bulk, assigns the HACCP course to each person, shows live progress and stores every certificate in one clean screen, exactly what an EHO wants to see.
Volume discounts apply automatically at checkout, and expiry reminders arrive before anyone lapses, which matters with a two year renewal cycle and constant staff turnover.
Restaurants, cafes, hotels, delis and caterers across Ireland run their food safety compliance through us year after year.
Every single person who handles food, no exceptions: Regulation (EC) 852/2004 requires food business operators to train everyone handling food, appropriate to their role, and EHOs verify it at every inspection.
In practice, the people certifying with us are chefs and cooks, kitchen porters, waiters and baristas, deli and butcher counter staff, supermarket and convenience workers, food truck operators, market traders and caterers in schools, hospitals and care homes.
If your business serves or sells food in any form, the whole team needs this specialist training.
Essential Knowledge
What Is a HACCP Plan?
What a HACCP plan must contain, a worked example for a restaurant, the records that go with it and how small Irish food businesses use the FSAI Safe Catering pack.
What the plan contains
Scope and the HACCP team. Product descriptions and intended use. Flow diagrams for each process. The hazard analysis table listing hazards and controls at each step. The CCP table: each critical control point with its hazard, critical limit, monitoring method and frequency, the person responsible, the corrective action and the record. Verification activities and their schedule. The prerequisite programmes: cleaning schedule, pest control, personal hygiene rules, supplier list, maintenance, training.
A worked example: restaurant kitchen
Receipt of chilled goods: hazard, pathogen growth; limit, 5 degrees or below; monitor, probe every chilled delivery; corrective action, reject above 8 degrees, note deliveries between 5 and 8 and use quickly. Cold storage: 5 degrees or below, fridge checked twice daily, food moved and engineer called if above. Cooking: core temperature 75 degrees; probe each batch; continue cooking if below. Cooling: from 63 to 5 degrees within about 90 minutes to two hours using shallow trays and blast chilling; discard if not achieved. Hot holding: 63 degrees or above, checked every two hours; reheat once to 75 or discard. Every check initialled on the daily sheet.
The records
Delivery and temperature logs, fridge and freezer checks, cooking and cooling records, hot holding checks, cleaning schedule sign offs, pest control reports, probe calibration, staff training certificates, corrective action notes and the weekly management review. Records are kept for at least a year, longer for products with long shelf life.
Small business options in Ireland
The FSAI Safe Catering pack gives caterers a complete HACCP based system with pre written procedures and record sheets. I.S. 340:2007 for catering and I.S. 341:2007 for retail set the recognised hygiene standards. A business that follows them and trains its staff has a compliant system without writing from scratch.
The CCP table
Hazard, limit, monitoring, responsibility, corrective action, record, for each critical point.
Key temperatures
Cook to 75, chill at 5 or below, hot hold at 63 or above, freeze at minus 18.
Safe Catering pack
The FSAI ready made system that small Irish caterers use to comply.
