FWRA Step 2 - Risk Description (4 SEP 24).pdf

This is a Food & Water Risk Assessment form used to document and evaluate foodborne illness risks in military food service operations. The form is designated as FWRA Step 2 – Risk Description, dated 4 September 2024, and is marked for official use only.

The form provides a structured framework for assessing food safety risks at the command level. It requires the assessor (identified by rank, name, and date) to document an initial foodborne illness risk item and classify it on a severity scale ranging from High to Extremely High. The form includes designated sections for describing the significant initial risk, detailing mitigation strategies to reduce the identified hazard, and reassessing the residual risk level after mitigation measures are implemented using the same severity classification scale (Low, Moderate, High, or Extremely High). Additionally, the form captures any affected product exclusions deemed necessary if risks cannot be adequately mitigated, requiring justification for such exclusions. The template is blank and awaits completion by the responsible assessor to support food safety compliance and risk management within the military command structure.
