Good Practices for

FOOD SAFETY

51

Continue..

For estimation of safety aspects, the following steps are : -

(1) Source of hazard

(2) Type of hazard

(3) Control procedure

(4) Contingency plan 52

Sources of Hazard

Handling of inflammable and combustible raw materials

Handling of compressed gases. Handling and processing of toxic substance Handling of corrosive substances Handling of oxidising substances Handling of dust-producing equipment and also dust Handling of boiler 53

Types of Hazards

Electrical shock Injury and death FireChemical burn Infection Intoxication

54

Control Procedure In FMCG industry the manufacturing control

procedures are prescribed as per the provision of FOOD SAFETY,OHSAS,HACCP etc.

The provisions of Good Manufacturing practices and Good Laboratory Practices are adopted total aspects of the factory i.e. building, plant set-up, personnel, Quality assurance, manufacturing control procedures, documentation etc. which certainly provide safe work environment.

55

Continue..

For ensuring total safe work environment and to prevent accident, the under mentioned control procedures may be adopted.

(a) Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

(b) Monitoring

(c) Safety Audit

(d) Risk Analysis

(e) Preventive Maintenance56

Continue..

(a)Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) :- In the FMCG industry SOP is prepared in more elaborate manner for manufacture of each SKU.

The SOP complete in all respects, ensures total safety in FMCG industry.

57

Continue..

(b)Monitoring:- It is essential to monitor each & every operation for getting success. Hence all the processes & safety aspects must be monitored.

(c)Safety Audit:- Audit is an essential step to check the application of systems in true manner. Hence safety audit is to be done at regular interval so as to ensure the following-up of SOP with parameters, critical points, safety aspects and all steps for prevention of accidents.

58

Continue..

(d)Risk Analysis:- Analysis in systemic manner by considering all aspects covering men, machine, processing, activities, building and all events including hazard due to human error or failure of any of the operation or tool.

(e)Preventive maintenance:- Several accidents are avoidable by taking precautions and timely maintenance of machineries, building, pipelines etc. So effective maintenance programme will certainly eliminate accident.

59

Contingency Plan

Each industry has to formulate an on-site "Emergency Management Plan“.

It should contain in detail the problem, rapid control, action to prevent from further growth, and all control procedures.

Five essential step for ensuring accident free as well as safe environment:

1.source of possible hazards 4.preventive measures

2.risk analysis 5.contingency plan

3.control procedures And also documentation.
