Hazard Analysis (Incoming)

The consolidated table of every evaluated hazard from your incoming products.

What this is for

The Hazard Analysis (Incoming Products) section is a read-only consolidated table that shows every hazard you’ve evaluated in the Incoming Products section. One row per hazard, grouped by source (category → group → product).

It’s read-only here — clicking a row opens the hazard modal back in Incoming Products to edit. The table also drives the printed Hazard Analysis page in the Print preview.

Only evaluated hazards (those with a control type set) appear in this table. Draft hazards still being entered in Incoming Products won’t show until you complete the decision tree.

Common tasks

How to read the table

Each row represents one hazard on one source (category, group, or product). Columns:

  • Source — the product/group/category name.
  • Hazard — the hazard description (e.g., Salmonella spp.).
  • Type — B / C / P / M / R / Q (or a custom type).
  • Risk — the severity × probability score from the matrix, with a coloured risk badge.
  • Controlled at — coloured pills showing the control type (PRP, CCP, PC, PCP). Click a pill to expand it and see standard items, justification, and processing steps.

How to edit a hazard

  1. Click a row.
  2. The hazard modal opens at the source product/group/category.
  3. Edit the hazard or re-run the evaluation.
  4. Save and return.

The table updates automatically.

How to filter or sort

The table supports:

  • Type filter — pick one or more types (B/C/P/…) to show.
  • Source filter — narrow to a specific category, group, or product.
  • Sort — click a column header to sort ascending; click again for descending.

These don’t affect the printed plan; they’re view-only conveniences.

How to expand a control pill

Some controls have richer detail (selected standard items, justification text, list of linked processing steps). Click the > chevron on a pill to expand and see the detail.

FAQs

Why is the table empty when I have hazards on my products? Hazards only appear here once they’ve been evaluated through the decision tree — drafts (with no control type yet) don’t show. Open the hazard in Incoming Products and click Evaluate.

Can I edit a hazard from this page? Click a row to open the hazard modal at its source. The actual edit happens in Incoming Products.

Why do I see two pills on one hazard? Some hazards have more than one control type (e.g., both PRP and CCP). Each pill expands separately to show the relevant standard items and justification.

The risk colour doesn’t match what I expected. The risk colour is determined by the Risk Matrix selected in Setup. Each cell of the matrix has a level (Low / Medium / High / etc.) with a colour. Adjust the matrix in the Matrix Library if needed.

Can I export this table to Excel? Yes — use File → Export → Excel. The hazard analysis tables are included as separate worksheets.
