Risk Assessment on Social Practice (GRASP) GRASP Checklist V 1.1 Valid from: Mandatory from: English Version Date of Assessment: Producer GGN: Registration N : Option: Number of Employees: Duration of Assessment: Producer: Address: Signature: Certification Body: Auditor/Inspector: Signature:
2 How to use this document This GRASP Checklist shall be used by assessors/inspectors who are assessing the implementation of the GRASP Module. GRASP is the Abbreviation for GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice. After the assessment, the filled in checklist shall be uploaded to the GLOBALG.A.P. Database. Requirements for GRASP Assessors The GRASP Assessment can only be conducted by those GLOBALG.A.P. approved auditors/inspectors who participated in a GRASP Training for Auditors and who successfully completed the GRASP online training. An updated list of approved GRASP auditors/inspectors can be obtained on the GLOBALG.A.P. Website. Please consult about the next GRASP Training for Auditors in your region with the GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat. Requirements for Producers GRASP is a voluntary add-on module and does not form part of the accredited GLOBALG.A.P. certification. However it logically complements the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA and plant propagation material standards regarding issues of good social practice. Thus only producer / producer groups who are GLOBALG.A.P. certified (or in the process of achieving a certificate) can register for a GRASP Assessment. How to report on the GRASP - Assessment Compliance to the control points is voluntary and has no influence on the GLOBALG.A.P. certification. However, if a producer decides to conduct the assessment, the upload of the filled in checklist(s) to the GLOB- ALG.A.P. Database is mandatory. After the assessment, the producer and the auditor/inspector must sign the completed GRASP Checklist. The results of the assessment will then be visible through the GLOBALG.A.P. Database (proof of assessment) according to the data use agreement signed by the producer in the sub-license agreement (see: GRASP GR Annex II). National Interpretation Guidelines Legal requirements regarding the control points differ from country to country (e.g. minimum wage, age of legal employment, working hours etc.). Legislation overwrites GRASP where relevant legislation is more demanding. Where there is no legislation (or legislation is not so strict), GRASP provides the minimum compliance criteria. In order to make requirements transparent to producers and assessors, National Interpretation Guidelines of the GRASP Module are developed in a process of stakeholder participation. The GRASP Module can only be assessed in those countries for which a National Interpretation Guideline is available. Consult the GLOBALG.A.P. Website on the available National Interpretation Guidelines. If your clients are interested in a GRASP Assessment and there is so far no Interpretation Guideline for your country available, please contact the GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat to find a solution. Please see further details in the GRASP General Regulations. How to fill in the GRASP Checklist The GRASP control points are formulated in a complex way, often covering more than one aspect. In order to make the requirements clearly understandable, this checklist shall be used to assess each control point. Each control point is structured into sub-points that give an orientation to the assessor/inspector. With these sub-points, the (proposed) minimum means of assessment are provided. In the last column, the assessor/inspector is required to comment on compliance of each sub-point (Yes / No / non-applicable). The final decision on compliance is taken on the aggregated level of the control point. Below each control point, remarks shall be given. However, bear in mind that as an assessor/inspector, you are not allowed to provide consultancy to the producer you or your company is assessing. Within this GRASP Checklist, remarks in italic provide you with assessment instructions and crossreferences. Assessment Techniques: Summary For assessing social issues, a special sensitivity of the assessor is required. Please consider the following points when you assess the GRASP Module Prepare well for the GRASP Assessment. You must be aware of up-to-date information regarding legal regulations, bargaining agreements etc. The National Interpretation Guideline supports your preparation. Do also read the Implementation Guideline. If you are assessing GLOBALG.A.P. on the same day, do not start with the GRASP Module, but rather do it towards the end of the audit. It is much easier to target social issues with an established level of confidence. Do not necessarily stick to the order provided in the checklist, but find a logical sequence according to the situation. Start with rather uncritical issues and documents checks and then move to the more sensitive topics. Especially during the interview with the employees, make sure that he/she is in an environment where he/she can openly talk without farm management being present. Do give attention to a good atmosphere between you and the persons you talk to. If persons feel controlled or negatively judged by you, it is more likely that you will not be told everything. Observe your non-verbal communication (facial expression, gestures etc). Do not inspect the farm with a checklist in front of your face. For assessing the control points, it is crucial that you know them by heart. If you feel that you may not be told the truth, do not insist. Find other ways of clarifying the issue, by checking more documents, talking to a different person or simply by rephrasing your question in a later stage. GRASP Checklist 2
