Event Overview:

“Evaluating hazards and risks assessments are critical tools for food safety professionals developing and following their food safety plans. Risk scores can be developed using the expertise of your team, providing their perception of risk from their perspective and experiences. Though valuable, a risk scoring exercise based solely on perception is only capable of yielding a “perceived risk” score. While perception is a good start, an actionable risk assessment should be based on actual outcomes and experiences. The availability of hard data, collected over time, has a dramatic impact on validating perceptions.

Pathogen diagnostic data, for example, along with the probability, frequency, and likeliness of occurrences, would allow a risk assessment score to be based on a historical trend, rather than a perceived level of frequency and probability.

Data reduces the guesswork and assumptions within a risk assessment, becoming a necessary element to transform risk perception into risk knowledge. While it is useful to perform a risk assessment based on perceived scoring and prioritization, it is essential that a risk assessment be validated with real data.”
