HACCP Training for Commercial Laundry Operations

While laundries are not food manufacturers, their operations directly impact food safety and human health — particularly when supplying:

• Food production sites
• Catering businesses
• Abattoirs
• Food processing plants
• Healthcare catering facilities

Retailers and certification schemes increasingly expect structured hazard analysis and documented control systems.

We provide HACCP training tailored specifically for industrial and food-related laundry operations to address potential risks that can occur as a result of:

• Physical contamination (plastic, metal)
• Chemical contamination (residues)
• Microbial contamination from hygiene failures during manufacture and transport
• Microbial survival as a result of inadequate washing temperatures or chemical dosing

Many laundries supplying food clients are audited under:

• BRCGS standards
• Retailer technical audits
• ISO 9001 quality systems
• Customer-specific hygiene codes

HACCP provides a clear, documented framework for:

• Identifying potential hazards
• Establishing critical control points
• Demonstrating due diligence
• Strengthening compliance systems
• Supporting audit readiness

Who this training is for

This training is suitable for any laundry service. More specifically, it is targeted at those likely to be involved in developing and implementing HACCP systems.

What we offer

Unlike generic food-based HACCP, our programmes are adapted to laundry environments. We offer two courses to support HACCP.

HACCP developer training:  This training is for those involved in creating or maintaining HACCP plans.  It is a two-day training programme that introduces HACCP principles in the context of laundry production and the products being manufactured, and seamlessly links to other quality management systems in operation, e.g., ISO 9001. By the end of the two-day course, all the fundamental requirements of HACCP will have been fully explored, and draft HACCP plans created.

HACCP awareness training: This training is for those involved in HACCP as part of their routine work. This one-day training programme introduces HACCP in the context of laundry operations and the laundry’s own HACCP plans. This training aims to provide HACCP awareness essential to successful HACCP implementation.

​Certification can be achieved following successful completion of the course assessment. The assessment route can be either via the RSPH if a Food-based HACCP certificate is required, or via RI’s own assessment, which leads to a non-food HACCP certificate.

Delivery Options

We offer flexible delivery to suit operational needs, including on-site training anywhere in the UK and live online training sessions via Zoom or Teams.

​​Choosing RI as your HACCP training provider provides UK-wide, industry-specific delivery, with a strong emphasis on practical application rather than theory. The training will help to support compliance and audit readiness tailored to need.
