Hazard Analysis (Processing)
The consolidated table of every evaluated hazard from your processing steps.
What this is for
The Hazard Analysis (Processing Steps) section mirrors the Incoming version but pulls data from the Flow Editor. Every hazard you’ve attached and evaluated on a processing-step node shows up here as a row, with the same columns and behaviours.
Like its Incoming counterpart, the table is read-only in this section — clicking a row opens the hazard modal at the source step in the Flow Editor for editing. It feeds the printed Hazard Analysis (PS) page in the Print preview.
Common tasks
How to read the table
Same columns as Incoming:
- Source — the step name (e.g., Pasteurization, Cold storage).
- Hazard — the hazard description.
- Type — B / C / P / M / R / Q.
- Risk — severity × probability score.
- Controlled at — control-type pills (PRP / CCP / PC / PCP).
How to edit a hazard
- Click the row.
- The hazard modal opens at the source step in the Flow Editor.
- Edit the hazard, change the evaluation, or replace the standard item.
- Save.
Coming back to this table, your changes are reflected.
How to navigate to the source step in the diagram
Some standards expect a clear traceability between hazard analysis and the flow diagram. Click any row → the editor opens at that step with the Node detail panel showing its hazards. The step is also briefly highlighted to draw your attention.

FAQs
Why is a step’s hazard not in this table? Either the hazard isn’t evaluated yet (no control type assigned), or the node was deleted from the diagram and the hazard was orphaned. Re-add the step or the evaluation.
A step shows multiple hazards — why are some shown here and not others? Only fully evaluated hazards show. Drafts stay on the step but don’t appear in the analysis.
Can I edit the hazard inline from this table? No — click the row to open the modal in the Flow Editor where the actual data lives. This avoids two places to maintain the same edit.
The processing step is referenced as a control on a hazard in the Incoming table — does it appear here too? No. The Processing table only shows hazards attached to steps. Hazards from incoming products that list a step as a control point still appear in the Incoming table only. Linking is shown as part of the control pill detail.
Are PCP controls visible here? Yes — when a hazard concludes as PCP, the linked PCP controls are listed inside the expanded pill.
