7 Introduction 7 Introduction ood safety at Dole erry Company is our top priority. To achieve the highest level of overall food safety, grower responsibility, environmental stewardship and worker protection Dole growers meet and exceed the Global GAP ( standards of production. These standards include: Monitoring of Irrigation Water Microbiology: Water sources for Dole associated farms are monitored and water tests are conducted regularly for spray water, irrigation water, wash water or any other potential water sources to ensure no cross contamination from water to product. Pesticide Residue Testing: Dole fruit is tested for pesticide residues. Any fruit which does not meet our standards is not marketed and is disposed or returned to grower. Worker Hygiene & Sanitation Procedures: Every person who is hired to pick berries or handle fruit for Dole growers must be trained in proper hygiene. This includes procedures such as hand washing, not harvesting fruit that has touched the ground, procedures concerning bleeding incidences, and prevention of workers with illness to be contaminated product in the field. ields must be free of all trash and debris which might attract animals or lead to proliferation of illness and disease that can be transferred to the product. Product Traceability: Dole is able to trace back to the farm and identify date and location of a harvested berry in a time efficient manner, regardless of whether that berry was grown in the United States or abroad. ast reaction time is critical in cases of food born illness and Dole has the tools to react promptly. The ultimate goal of these standards and the procedures that support them is to guarantee the delivery of a safe and reliable supply of great tasting berries. To ensure that Dole berry growers adhere to food safety requirements on similar levels and standards, our farms are audited by an independent third party. The third party auditor has no stake in the outcome of the audits. The auditor's mandate is to assess the compliance of our growers or packing/cooling facilities with the standards we have set. Through the use of third party audits we are able to increase the consumer s level of confidence in the safety of our berries while maintaining our product integrity. Jonathan entley ood Safety Manager, East and L. America Dole Company, erry Division

8 8 207 GLOAL G.A.P. COMPLIANCE Version 4.0 Section A - Introduction The reasons for adhering to Global G.A.P. standards are:. Maintain consumer confidence in food quality and safety. 2. Minimize detrimental impact to the environment while conserving nature and wildlife. 3. Reduce the use of agrichemicals. 4. Improve the efficiency of natural resource usage. 5. Ensure a responsible attitude toward worker health and safety. Growers who adopt Global G.A.P. greatly increase the level of food safety. The main difference between US-G.A.P. and Global G.A.P. is that US-G.A.P. focuses mainly on minimizing microbial contamination of produce. US-G.A.P. has eight principles all of which are concerned with preventing microbial contamination of the food supply. There are no provisions for environmental conservation or worker safety. Global G.A.P. is concerned with all aspects of food production. Global G.A.P. represents the minimum acceptable standards requested by leading retail groups in Europe and represents future trends of food safety in the U.S. Production of consumer healthy high quality berries, environmental stewardship, utilization of IPM strategies for minimization of chemical use and worker health and safety is the future of the berry industry. Dole erry Company embraces this philosophy and continues to set standards for the industry in health and food safety programs.

9 Introduction 9 Section - The Process Information contained within this book should be used to bring farms into compliance with Global G.A.P standards. Dole erry Company will provide assistance with information as necessary. If you need assistance contact Jonathan entley at or Jill Dunlop at Once your farm is ready for compliance with Global G.A.P. standards an internal audit will be conducted. After the internal audit is finished you will need to take corrective actions on any area that was found to be deficient. Once corrective actions are received and determined to be acceptable you will be an approved grower. Approved growers will be subject to third party audits by an independent auditing company. A portion of growers are randomly selected for these third party audits. It is necessary for all growers to fully cooperate for Dole to maintain its GlobalG.A.P. certificate.

15 All arm ase 5 A.2. Intoduction to Risk Assessments Introduction to Risk Assessment In the GLOALG.A.P IA Standard a number of risk assessments are required in order to facilitate food safety, workers health and safety, and environmental protection. This guidance document provides assistance to producers. ive Steps to Risk Assessment A risk assessment is an important step in protecting the products, workers and business, as well as complying with GLOALG.A.P requirements and the law. A risk assessment helps you to focus on those risks that really matter in the workplace the ones with the potential to cause real harm. In many instances, straightforward simple, effective, and inexpensive measures can readily control risks (e.g. ensuring spillages are cleaned up promptly so product cannot be contaminated). It is not expected that you eliminate all risks, but you are expected and required to protect your products and workers as far as is reasonably practicable. This is not the only way to do a risk assessment; there are other methods that work well, particularly for more complex risks and/or circumstances. However, we believe this method provides a straightforward approach for most producers. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a failure to take reasonable control measures. Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect the business too if output is lost or you have to go to court. Producers are legally required to assess the risks in their workplace so that a plan to control the risks can be put in place. What is Risk Assessment? A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to the product, environment and/or workers, so that you can evaluate whether or not you have taken sufficient precautions or should do more to prevent harm. Don t over-complicate the process. In many enterprises, the risks are well known and the necessary control measures are easy to apply. Check that you have taken reasonable precautions to avoid contamination and/or injury. When thinking about your risk assessment, remember: a hazard is anything that may cause harm, such as chemicals, electricity, working from ladders etc.; the risk is the frequency, high or low, that somebody could be harmed by these and other hazards, together with an indication of how serious the harm could be. How to Assess the Risks in Your Enterprise Step : Identify the hazards. Step 2: Decide who/what might be harmed and how. Step 3: Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions. Step 4: Record the work plan/findings and implement them. Step 5: Review the assessment and update if necessary. Step Identify the Hazards irst, you need to identify how product, environment, and/or workers could be harmed. Here are some tips to help identify the ones that matter: Walk around the workplace and look at what could reasonably be expected to cause harm (e.g. situations, equipment, products, practices, etc.). Ask the workers (if applicable) or their representatives what they think. They may have noticed things that are not immediately obvious to you. Check manufacturer s instructions or data sheets for chemicals and equipment as they can be very helpful in identifying the hazards and putting them in their true perspective. Review prior incidence and accident records as these often help to identify less obvious hazards. Remember to think about long-term hazards to health (e.g. high levels of noise or exposure to harmful substances) as well as (food) safety hazards.

16 6 207 GLOAL G.A.P. COMPLIANCE Version 4.0 Step 2 Decide Who/What Might e Harmed and How or each hazard, you need to be clear about who or what might be harmed; this will help to identify the best way of managing the risk. Remember: Some activities have particular requirements (e.g. harvesting). Extra thought will be needed for some hazards, especially in situations where individuals (e.g. cleaners, visitors, contractors, maintenance workers, etc.) may not be in the workplace all the time. Step 3 Evaluate the Risks and Decide on Precautions Having spotted the hazards, you then have to decide what to do about them. The law requires you to do everything reasonably practicable to protect people from harm. You can work this out for yourself, but the easiest way is to compare what is being done against what is already defined as good practice. So first, look at what you are already doing, think about what controls you have in place and how the work is organized. Then compare that with the good practices and see if there s more you should be doing to bring yourself up to standard. During your evaluation process, consider the following: Can I get rid of the hazard altogether? If not, how can I manage the risks so that harm is unlikely? When managing risks, if possible, apply the principles below in the following order: Try a less risky option (e.g. switch to using a less hazardous chemical); Prevent access to the hazard (e.g. by guarding); Organize the work/tasks to reduce exposure to the hazard ; Issue personal protective equipment (e.g. clothing, footwear, goggles, etc.); Provide welfare facilities (e.g. first aid and washing facilities for removal of contamination). Improving health and safety need not cost a lot. or instance, placing a mirror on a dangerous blind corner to help prevent vehicle accidents is a low-cost precaution considering the risks. ailure to take simple precautions can cost you a lot more if an accident does happen. Involve staff (if applicable), so that you can be sure that what you propose to do will work in practice and won t introduce any new hazards. Step 4 Record the indings and Implement Them Putting the results of the risk assessment into practice will make a difference when looking after food safety, workers health and safety, and your business. Writing down the results of the risk assessment, and sharing them with your staff, encourages you to complete the implementation. When writing down the results, keep it simple (e.g. contamination at harvest: hand-washing facilities at the field). It is not expected that the risk assessment be perfect, but it must be suitable and sufficient. You need to be able to show that: A proper check was made; You asked who or what might be affected; You dealt with all the significant hazards, The precautions are reasonable and the remaining risk is low; and You involved your staff or their representatives (where applicable) in the process.

17 All arm ase 7 A good plan of action often includes a mixture of different responses such as: Temporary solution until more reliable controls can be put in place; Long-term solutions to those risks most likely to cause accidents or ill health; Long-term solutions to those risks with the worst potential consequences; Arrangements for training employees on the primary risks that remain and how these risks are to be controlled; Regular checks to make sure that the control measures stay in place; Clearly defined responsibilities who will lead on what action and by when. Remember, prioritize and address the most important things first. As you complete each action, check it off your work plan. Step 5 Review the Risk Assessment and Update if Necessary ew enterprises stay the same. Sooner or later, you will bring in new equipment, substances and/or procedures that could lead to new hazards. It makes sense, therefore, to review what you are doing on an ongoing basis. Every year, formally review where you are with respect to recognized good practices, to make sure you are still improving, or at least not sliding back. Look at your risk assessment again: Have there been any changes? Are there improvements you still need to make? Have your workers spotted problems? Have you learned anything from incidences or near misses? Make sure your risk assessment stays up to date. When you are running a business, it s all too easy to forget about reviewing your risk assessment until something has gone wrong and it s too late. Why not set a review date for this risk assessment now? Write it down and note it in your calendar as an annual event. During the year, if there is a significant change, don t wait. Check the risk assessment and, where necessary, amend it. If possible, it is best to think about the risk assessment when you re planning a change that way there is more flexibility.

18 8 207 GLOAL G.A.P. COMPLIANCE Version 4.0 A.2. Risk Assessment for Site actors to consider (note: this is not an exhaustive list of factors): Legislation: Local regulations should be checked first to verify legal compliance. Prior Use of Land:. Previous crops: for example, cotton production typically involves heavy use of residual herbicides that can have longterm effects on cereal and other vegetable crops. 2. Industrial or military use: for example, former vehicle parks may have considerable petroleum contamination. 3. Landfill or mining sites: may have unacceptable waste in their subsoil that can contaminate subsequent crops which may be subject to sudden subsidence endangering persons working on the land. 4. Natural vegetation: might harbor pests, diseases, and/or weeds. 5.Adjacent land use: How is the land surrounding your farm being utilized? Grazing, residential, other field crops, native woodlands, cow calf operation, animal husbandry, waste duamp sites. Soil: The risk assessment should cover structural suitability for intended use, structural susceptibility to erosion; and chemical suitability for intended crops. Erosion: The risk assessment should determine if there are, or could be, losses of topsoil by water/wind that may affect crop yields, and/or affect land and water downstream. Drainage patterns: Liability to flooding and/or erosion Wind exposure: Excessive wind speeds can cause crop losses Water: Water quality:. To be determined by the local authority to be fit for purpose or if there is no local standard, then results from appropriate laboratories, capable of performing chemical and/or microbiological analyses up to ISO 7025 level, or equivalent standard, must be available to show that irrigation water quality complies with the criteria as set out in Table 3, p39 of the WHO Health Guideline for the use of wastewater in Agriculture and Aquaculture. (see WHO Technical Report Series 778, 989 Table 3 at end of document). 2. Drinking water quality: WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality; 3rd Ed, Incorporating the first and second addenda, Vol (see Table 7.7 Guideline values for verification of microbial quality at the end of the document). Availability: Adequacy throughout the year, or at least the proposed growing season. Authorization to use:. Assurance of the predicted quantities required by the crop; 2. Rights of other users; i.e. local laws or customs may recognize other users whose needs may pre-empt agricultural use at times; 3. Environmental impact; i.e.some extraction rates could adversely affect flora and fauna associated with or dependent on the water source. looding: unintentional flooding microbiological and chemical contamination. Other impacts:. Dust, smoke and noise problems caused by operation of agricultural machinery 2. Contamination of downstream sites by silt-laden or chemical-laden runoff 3. Spray drift 4. Insects attracted by crops, waste products and/or operations using manure 5. Depredations by pests from nearby natural or conservation areas 6.

20 GLOAL G.A.P. COMPLIANCE Version 4.0 A.2. - Risk Assessment or New Agriculture Sites When looking at new agriculture sites for berries outside of (arm Name) several factors and criteria are investigated. These factors include soil types or series, ph of soil, drainage, organic matter, prior land use, adjacent land use, soil erosion and water sources. The factors and tools to examine them below must be used for new agricultural sites. Tools that would be used to evaluate the factors are as follows:. Soil Type or Series National Resource Conservation Service Soil Map for county involved. 2. ph, organic matter, and nutrient content of soil Soil sample are collected and sent to a certified laboratory including an organic matter test to determine % O.M. in soil. 3. Soil Erosion and Drainage National Conservation Resource Service soil profile manual to determine depth to clay, water table and permeability and drainage classifications. 4. Water Sources Identification of wells and open water sources (ponds, lakes, streams etc) for irrigation, crop protection, sprays, and any other sources of water that comes in contact with product or is used for human consumption are tested for E. coli. Potential sources of contamination are identified and mitigated. Open water sources that come into contact with product are treated using an appropriate water treatment. 5. Prior Land Use Prior land use including but not limited to consideration of previous crops, industrial or military use, landfill sites, mining sites, or natural vegetation are identified and assessed. The local tax office can be used to identify previous land use. 6. Adjacent Land Use - Adjacent land use including but not limited to animal husbandry, cow/calf operation, concentrated animal farming, waste sites and any risks visually observed should be assessed. This risk assessment will be followed by (arm Name) to insure new agriculture sites meet the demands and criteria on being sound, safe and environmentally friendly before new plantings would be considered.

22 GLOAL G.A.P. COMPLIANCE Version 4.0 A.2.2 Management Plan for Site A.2.2 In this section, describe a management plan that covers the risks identified in the Risk Assessment for Site (A.2.). Describe the strategies to justify that the site in question is suitable for production. (Only applicable if using a new site)

23 All arm ase 23 A Corrective Action Plan for New Agriculture Sites If any of the risk assessment items had a negative impact on food safety or production, the items must be remedied or the new site would be eliminated from consideration of a new planting. However if issues arose after planting that would have a negative impact, they would be addressed by the following measures.. Soil Type, Series, ph, Organic Matter, and/or Nutrient Content Soil type, series, ph, organic matter, and/or nutrient content must be sufficient to support berry production. Soil found to be deficient in ph, organic matter,nutrient content or any other vital component should be amended/treated as necessary considering advice from qualified person(s). Any amendments must consider the use of sludge, untreated manure/compost, or any items that may introduce a high risk for food safety. 2. Soil Erosion & Drainage Erosion is prevented by common farming practices including appropriate farm preparation techniques such as: field leveling, plant bedding practices, an adequate water drainage systems to allow for proper drainage which reduce soil erosion. Local NCRS agents and water conservation officials are available for consultation as needed to implement a plan that would correct the problems with least amount of impact on surrounding environment. 3. Water Sources Water sources are required to be tested annually and should be free of any minor or major health contaminants at all times. In the event of an issue with a water sample, the source will be retested assuring that proper testing/sampling techniques are used. Any issues that persist shall be treated in an appropriate manner such as chlorination treatment until the water tests to acceptable levels. Each water source will be monitored and visually observed for any issues on a regular basis. In the event that a water source is not able to be treated effectively, that water source is no longer viable and any product that comes into contact shall be discarded. 4. Prior or Adjacent Land Use If prior land use showed any negative impacts then the site would be eliminated from consideration of a new planting. If Adjacent Land Use, in the future were to adversely affect the berry operation, measures would be taken with the help of properly trained personnel to limit or remove such impact. All corrective actions taken if any would be recorded and documented when implementation occurred.
