I am trying to add trash to our process HAZARD Analysis.  Can any of you think of the B,C P hazards that would be associated with it.

 

thank you,

 

Marvis.

There may be all 3 plus allergens (if you count separately from chemical) depending on the type of trash you are talking about. The most common would be microbiological and staff handling waste contaminating the product. Waste control/management and hygiene are good manufacturing practices (prerequisite programmes) that are important in controlling the generic hazards associated with waste.

 

The BRC standard has many references to waste if you look through, your process flow diagram should include where waste products leave the production process and the site map should include routes for the removal of waste.

 

4.3.4 Interpretation Movement of personnel, raw materials, packaging, rework and waste:
The HACCP plan must have identiied potential risks associated with all production zones and identiied the controls (including the level of prerequisite programmes) appropriate for the safe production of the products. A combination of process low and procedures (e.g. the prerequisite programme and work instructions) will be used to minimise risk to raw materials, packaging and products. Particular atention needs to be given to the movement of personnel, raw materials, packaging, rework and waste, to ensure that the routes taken are deined and therefore product safety will not be compromised. For example, the removal of unnecessary packaging, such as debagging or removing outer boxes, should take place in a designated area, usually prior to transfer to production areas, in order to prevent potential foreign-body risks from discarded packaging.
 
There are plenty of requirements for control of waste including:
4.12 Waste/waste disposal
Control of waste water/drainage
Control of waste staff from facilities
5.3 MANAGEMENT OF ALLERGENS Waste-handling and spillage controls. These should be considered to ensure that allergens are removed efficiently and that the removal process does not become the source of allergen contamination in other areas of the factory.
5.6.2 LABORATORY TESTING 5.6.2.2 • disposal of laboratory waste.
 
Kind regards,
 
Tony

Hi Marvis,

 

As stated in the previous detailed response -  It surely depends on what the "trash" is.


Kind Regards,
