Glass Policy - Catering

Hi All

I am currently trying to write a glass policy for a catering company. I have the bulk of the policy written. And have seen http://www.ifsqn.com...3-glass-policy/ However due to the nature of our business a wide range of raw materials are supplied in jars, glass bottles etc. I am unsure how to put in place a control for this, or how to get the point accross in the policy. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Best Wishes,
Jane

Just a few ideas...
If glass breaks in food handling areas, all employees MUST:

· Isolate the area.
· Stop production in the area and report the breakage to Chief Cook or the Catering Manager or to the Superior immediately.
· Any exposed product in the area must be discarded.
· The broken glass is to be cleaned up
· If any utensils or equipment is involved, it needs to be washed and re-inspected prior to commencement of the production.
· Anyone involved in the clean up must change his or her clothing.
· Personnel involved in the incident must fill out a Corrective Action Report.
· If the broken glass resulted in injury or physical contamination, the accident must be reported to Operations Manager.

Dear Jane,

Another option could be to post yr draft policy here and let people comment ??

Thank you both for your comments. Please see attached my Glass Policy and my Glass Breakage Procedure.

Is it sufficient to have a control for when breakage occurs, rather than commiting to having a glass free operation area? I am working towards ISO 22000, I've only dealt with BRC in manufacturing plants up to now.

I would appreciate any comments.
