Risk-based Preventive Controls

Risk-based preventive controls are systematic measures implemented to identify, assess, and reduce potential threats to safety or quality before they occur. Instead of applying the same safeguards everywhere, this approach focuses on areas with higher risks, prioritizing resources where they are most needed. For example, a food manufacturer might strengthen hygiene practices in production areas prone to contamination. This proactive strategy helps prevent problems, ensuring safer and higher-quality products by addressing risks based on their likelihood and potential impact.
