Prevra · Feature

Keep the action with the problem that prompted it

A tick alone cannot explain what happened when a check found a problem. Prevra keeps the issue, the response and the follow-up together so the record still makes sense later.

What it covers

Built around the record you already keep.

01

The issue in context

Record the problem beside the temperature, cleaning task, diary entry or review where it was found.

02

The action taken

Describe the immediate response clearly enough for a manager to understand the decision later.

03

Follow-up that stays visible

Keep any next step with the original issue so it can be reviewed instead of disappearing into a handover.

How it works

From the check to a clear record.

A simple routine helps the whole team keep records that make sense later.

01

Record the problem

Capture what was found, when it happened and which check or part of the operation it relates to.

02

Add the response

Record the action taken using the safe methods and procedures already agreed for the business.

03

Close the loop

Review the outcome, complete any follow-up and keep the final record with its source.

Good practice

Make every record useful.

Prevra does not replace your existing SFBB pack, safe methods or staff training.

  • Make sure staff know when a result or observation needs action under your safe methods.
  • Use specific notes: describe the issue and response rather than writing only “sorted”.
  • Review repeated problems to decide whether procedures, equipment or training need attention.

Questions

Good to know.

Does Prevra decide the corrective action?

No. The business must follow its safe methods, food-safety procedures and any relevant official guidance. Prevra keeps the record of the decision and follow-up.

Why connect an action to its original check?

The context helps a manager understand why the action was taken and whether the same issue is happening repeatedly.

For official advice, use the Food Standards Agency’s SFBB guidance. Prevra is independent of the Food Standards Agency.
