Hi Everyone,
We have a GBP register , audited annually in our BRC accredited High Hygiene production/packaging facility . It was set up prior to my arrival , but also includes the Warehouse, which is not part of the High Hygiene area (warehouse staff do not wear hairnets or dedicated shoes and garments like production staff). The hygiene facility is a building within a building, so goods flow in/out via airlocks from the warehouse which surrounds it.
Whilst I understand the production environment GBP requirement, should this register/audit extend to the Warehouse? Raw materials and packaging entering production are controlled by PRP procedures to ensure they are contaminant free prior to entry. Previous BRC accredited company I worked for did not cover warehouse, but this was in an adjacent building. We do not cover lunchrooms/changerooms/office and QA Lab(situated as part of offices) in the register.
Many thanks in advance.
