Glass Policy Sample 3hv6e

Glass Policy The control of glass is essential to maintaining food safety and integrity. The company ensures that all potential glass (and where possible clear and brittle plastic) is controlled and monitored from the supply and intake of all materials to the design of our production areas and control of our processes within those areas. New Buildings and Equipment Wherever possible the use of glass will be avoided in the construction of new buildings, plant installations and instrumentation etc. Where there are no suitable alternatives available it must be of sufficient strength and well protected to prevent breakage under conditions which can reasonably be expected to be encountered. Existing Buildings and Equipment It is recognized that the total removal of glass from the construction of existing manufacturing areas of equipment is impractical in a limited time span however, suitable alternatives will be considered when full or partial replacement is necessary. Suitable non glass shielding/covers will be employed in areas with open product containers to minimize the risk of product contamination. Light Fittings/EFK Units All lights are covered by diffs or enclosed in shatterproof plastic fittings. EFK’s are also sheathed in a suitable shatterproof outer skin. Suppliers and Contractors Suppliers all sign a warranty as part of the pre supply assessment and all products delivered onto site are checked for all forms of contamination including glass. We do not accept any goods that are packed on pallets that have been used in the glass industry under any circumstance. Contractors and Visitors are asked not to bring glass in any form onto the site. Staff All staff are trained with reference to the glass breakage procedure and the introduction of any glass onto site or into the production areas. Audits and Procedures New Dawn Resources Ltd carries out a monthly site glass audit which is based on risk assessment and previous incidents on site. It is conducted by a competent person that includes clear plastic Perspex and brittle plastic. There is in place a strict glass breakage procedure which staff are trained in on induction.
