  6. Fully integrated system

  7. Key components of the WQSP • Integrated water quality management system • Holistic in approach • Includes risk and hazard assessment • Identifies critical control points • Predefines operational limits • Establishes monitoring programme • Principle of multiple barriers • Proactive remedial actions • Clearly defines responsibilities

  8. Programme outline Comprised four modulesand 11 procedures • Module 1: Introduction into water quality and water quality safety plans • Module 2: Defining the WQSP • Module 3: Setting up the WQSP • Module 4: Maintaining the WQSP

  10. Module 1 contents • Discusses issues pertaining to water quality and the need for managing water quality • Explains WQSP, where they come from and why this is considered a sound solution for managing water quality • Trains learner to compile procedures using standard ISO 9001 principles

  11. Module 1 outcomes • Learners will: • Learn about issues pertaining to drinking water quality • Understand what are the critical issues needed to safeguard consumers • Get to grips with the logic functioning of WQSP and how they can assist them in managing water quality • Obtain the knowledge to use ISO 9001 procedure writing techniques

  12. Module 2 contents • Procedure 1:Establish what resources would be required to develop and sustain a WQSP. • Procedure 2 Define corporate commitment to water quality – What is needed legally and:contractually • Procedure 3:Define scope of WQSP • Procedure 4:Entails the compilation of flow diagrams of the entire water supply chain.

  13. Module 2 outcomes • Learners will learn to: • Establish who is involved in managing Water quality • Appoint a WQSP champion • Establish what is required from them with regard to water quality • Conclude contents of WQSP • Construct flow diagrams of the water supply chain • Understand the functioning of the water supply chain

  14. Module 3 contents • Procedure 5: Conduct risk and hazard assessment • Procedure 6: Identify critical control points • Procedure 7: Establish operational limits

  15. Module 3 outcomes • Learners will learn to • Differentiate between risks and hazards • Conduct a risk and hazard assessment • Identify critical control points throughout the water supply chain • Identify CCP where operational limits are required • Set operational limits for required water quality variable

  16. Module 4 contents • Procedure 8:Establish monitoring programme • Procedure 9: Verify drinking water quality • Procedure 10: Establish corrective actions • Procedure 11: Support programme

  17. Module 4 outcomes • Learners will learn to: • Develop a monitoring programme capable of verifying that operational limits are met • Compile verification reports in respect of drinking water quality • Develop proactive corrective procedures and protocols that would guide staff in correcting situations where operational or water quality limits are exceeded • Identify required WQSP support

  18. Learner evaluation On completion of 3 day WQSP workshop learners need to complete portfolio of evidence consisting of: • Worksheets that needs completion in respect of each procedure. • Completed workbook tasks for each of the 11 procedures

  19. Where does the WQSP fit Quality Assurance Action group Quality Control Business Continuity Plan
