Risk management programmes for transport operators

Two ways to develop a risk management programme

If you decide to operate under a risk management programme (RMP) for transporting animal products for export, there are 2 ways you can do this:

If you already operate under a registered RMP for processing, you can add transport activities to that RMP.
If you don't already have a registered RMP, you can create one, or you can operate under the transport regulated control scheme (RCS).

Adding transport activities to an existing RMP

If you're an operator of a processing premises that's already operating under a registered RMP, you can extend that RMP to cover your transport activities. Use the Processing premises RMP – Transport supporting system template to do this.

Note: You can only do this if the products you process don't require temperature control.

If you transport goods for other operators you must have a written agreement. You can find the template for this in Appendix 1 of the Processing premises RMP – Transport supporting system.
