Hello,
I am preparing for our upcoming BRC Packaging audit. We are a printing company and we convert non-food contact packaging and food contact packaging (printed labels mainly.) I am having some trouble figuring out what is needed for the protective clothing section of the self-assessment. We do not wear lab coats in food grade lines, we currently have a policy that plain t-shirts and long pants are required when running food grade products. We do however require beard nets and hair nets inside the food grade lines. Although we are considered a high risk environment due to the few food contact products we run, I do not know if lab coats etc. would be required. The policies we have in place have been sufficient in the past but I know that the BRC standards are a lot more strict than AIB. Does anyone have any input as to what they would think is sufficient protective clothing for this type of environment? thanks
