This slide presentation outlines Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), a
formalized food safety quality assurance system that was
developed for the U.S. space program by NASA/Pillsbury in
1959, and was subsequently adopted world-wide by the food industry. Specifically, the presentation focuses on AwwaRF Project #2856 with the
objective of
evaluating the application of HACCP
in the drinking water industry to
protect and maintain distribution
system water quality. AwwaRF #2856 pilot studies were done by:
City of Austin, Texas;
South Berwick Water District, Maine;
Katherine, Northern Territories, Australia; and,
Sydney Water, Australia. Case studies were done by:
Brisbane Water, Queensland;
Gold Coast Water, Queensland;
Yarra Valley Water, Victoria;
Southeast Water, Victoria; and,
City West Water, Victoria. Case study findings included:
utilities implemented ISO systems first -
ISO 9001 Quality Management,
ISO 14001 Environmental Management, and
ISO 4801 Occupational Health & Safety; all systems captured within an integrated
management system (ISO + HACCP); water quality improvements 3 years after HACCP; utilities maintained HACCP certification; and, auditing is necessary and useful. Recommended first steps for utilities are given along with supporting programs. Includes tables, figures.
