While performing the HAV task, IPP are to review and verify which of the following?

• A. QA staff performing hourly or daily monitoring activities
• B. Support for decisions made during the hazard analysis process
• C. Calibration of thermometers and other process monitoring instruments
• D. Establishment is performing pre-shipment review before product enters commerce

Answer: (B)

HAV tasks are about confirming that the decisions made during the hazard analysis are backed by evidence, analysis, and clear justification. The IPP’s role is to verify that identified hazards, their assessed risks, and the chosen control measures have documented data and reasoning behind them, making the hazard analysis transparent and defensible. This focus on decision support ensures the analysis stands up to scrutiny and aligns with regulatory expectations. Daily monitoring activities, calibration of instruments, or pre-shipment release processes are separate tasks and do not center on validating the hazard analysis decisions themselves.
