  2. CCP Decision Tree Q1. Does this step involve a hazard of sufficient risk and severity to warrant its control? Yes| No Q2. Does a preventive measure for the hazard exist at this step (chlorination)? Yes | No Q3. Is control at this step necessary to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the risk of the hazard to persons onboard? Yes |No Not a CCP Not a CCP. Next step in process CCP CL Not a CCP. Next step in process

  3. CCP Decision Tree Q1. Does this step involve a hazard of sufficient risk and severity to warrant its control? Yes| No Q2. Does a preventive measure for the hazard exist at this step?   | No Not a CCP Yes Is control at this step necessary for safety? Modify the step, process or product. REPEAT Q#2. Yes | | No Not a CCP. Next step in process. Q3. Is control at this step necessary to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the risk of the hazard? CCP CL Yes | No Not a CCP. Next step in process.

  4. CCP Decision Tree Help Important considerations when using the decision tree: • The decision tree is used after the hazard analysis. • The decision tree is used at the steps where a "significant hazard" has been identified. These are hazards that may reasonably be expected to occur. Non-significant hazards (i.e., of low risk and unlikely to occur) have been excluded. • A process which does not have a significant hazard does not need a HACCP plan. • Each step which is a CCP must agree with the definition: a point, step, or procedure at which control can be applied and a food or water safety hazard can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable levels. • A subsequent step in the process under your control may be more effective for controlling a hazard and may be the preferred CCP. • More than one step in a process may be involved in controlling a hazard. • More than one hazard may be controlled by a specific preventative measure.
