Risk matrix explained: Difference between relevant and significant hazards

Should all risks be avoided in an HACCP analysis, or are some risks unavoidable? When does a risk become acceptable, and does that include very serious harm?

When applying HACCP, the probability and severity of hazards play a crucial role. A risk matrix is an indispensable tool. But what exactly does "risk" mean? It turns out to be less simple than it seems.

In these videos, Paul Besseling answers these questions. In Part 1, Paul discusses the construction of a risk matrix and explains the difference between relevant and significant hazards. In Part 2, Paul shows how to build and understand a hazard analysis using a risk matrix.
