Evaluating Your Risk Management Framework
If you have been following the risk management steps that we have been discussing in Season 2 of “Off the Menu”, you should have implemented the framework by now. In Episode 5, Peter and I chat about effectively evaluating the risk management framework and how it has been implemented.
The core focus of the evaluation process is to determine if the implementation has been effective or not. There are several aspects to focus on including:
* How often they are conducted
* What the evaluation should focus on
* How to determine if changes needs to be made to the framework

Frequency of evaluation
The frequency of when the risk management framework should be evaluated is related to the confidence in the system. You need to understand your confidence level, and that comes from the amount of data and planning you’ve done to set up in the first place.
You would do more evaluations in the beginning. As time goes along, you reduce the number of evaluations that you need to do because you’re building up a level of confidence not only your team and culture (https://haccpmentor.com/3-ways-to-start-building-a-positive-workplace-culture-in-your-food-business/), but also the process to deliver the outcomes. At a minimum, you should be conducting monthly internal assessments to make sure that whatever you have put in place is working.
Conducting deeper dives
When your confidence in the system has grown, you would then go to six monthly deeper dives. We want to see that what we’ve put in place is delivering a change in how we’re doing things in order to get to the desired outcome.
So what does that really mean? It means did we save money somewhere? Did we reduce the number of errors that were occurring in the system?
