Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point System to Produce Safe Drinking Water: a Review Study

Delivery of safe drinking water is particularly important in residential building as well as for commercial and public buildings, such as hotels, nursing homes, hospitals and sports facilities. The safe water can be available through preventive and comprehensive management of drinking water security programs such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). HACCP is an internationally systematic preventive approach which recognizes and determines of biological, chemical, and physical hazards over the underprocess product. This study aimed to introduce HACCP as a method to manage of produced safe drinking water by water treatment plans. This study is a review over application of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system in water treatment plants in some country was investigated. In the mid-1990s Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system have been used by several countries like Australia, Iceland, France, Canada and New Zealand. By usage of this system and determining of critical control points, corrective actions, continuous monitoring and inspection of parameter, documentation and reporting we can bring to minimum water pollution incidents. The main purpose of this system is identification and understanding of risks associated with processes before final product formation. At last delivery a high quality product to consumer.
