Free live masterclass 10 April 1:00 pm ACDT Online via Zoom
What good looks like and how you know you've got it right.
A free 60-minute live session that shows you exactly what a compliant hazard analysis looks like.
The most common reason HACCP plans fail under audit is not what most people expect.
After 20 years conducting certification audits, I see the same gaps in nearly every hazard analysis I review:
- Hazards listed but with insufficient detail
- Control measures that do not link back to the specific hazard they manage
- Biological, chemical, physical, and allergen hazards treated as a checklist and not a thinking process
Any one of these gaps is enough to generate a non-conformance. The structure might be there, but is the depth enough?
This masterclass closes those gaps.
What's covered in 60 minutes
Leave this session with practical clarity you can apply immediately.
- What a hazard analysis actually needs to show
- How to think through biological, chemical, physical, and allergen hazards at every step of your process
- The evidence chain auditors follow: from hazard identification through significance rating, control measures, critical limits, and verification
- A live walkthrough of a complete process step in the hazard analysis template done in real time so you can see exactly what depth is required
- The 5-point hazard analysis health check: score your own system during the session and know exactly where your gaps are before you leave
- What to do this week to start fixing the gaps you find
Introducing Your Faciliator
Nicole has spent more than 20 years conducting certification audits for globally recognised certification bodies across Australian food manufacturing.
She has reviewed hundreds of HACCP plans under audit conditions and supported hundreds of food businesses to achieve first-time certification.
She founded Pinnacle Management Systems to bridge the gap between what food businesses document and what actually passes audit. Her coaching programs, templates, and training resources are used by food manufacturers across Australia.
She knows what auditors look for. Because she has been the auditor.

Why HACCP Feels Overwhelming
01
Uncertainty
Not knowing whether what you have documented is “right” or sufficient
02
Frustration
Frustrated and confused by conflicting advice and unclear expectations
03
Stress
Stress as the audit dates approach and uncertainty about what auditors actually want to see
04
Chaos
Conflicting priorities, and a constant sense of playing catch-up rather than being in control
