Hi,
I started out without any training
So consultant came in and started a QM.
from this QM you have your process flow chart, then SOP and WI.
That was the easy part but for the DCR you have to maintain.
update for the HACCP and GMP+.
that have to be updated with the new one by checking the HACCP and GMP+ Website.
Any changes you are responsible.
Records update these from each departmental heads.
all on food / feed safety.
Weighing scale, temperature monitoring, magnets, calibration records.
make sure these have certificate from time to time and monitor internally and send outside for external monitoring.
Make sure to keep your boss informed about changes to the HACCP and GMP.
And please do insist you get a good time to read, understand, study and work out the right strategy in your job.
This is only for the haccp and gmp
The other role is safety officer, department of environment, dept of occupational safety monitoring.
Don't think you are not dispensable. multi role yourself, step out of your comfort zone.
And interaction with the Govt inspector, customer who audit your product, facilities and process and procedure will help you expand your horizon beyond the office desk and chair.
One more thing, help with the rest of the department like shipping dept, under stand how to apply for e-permit, veterinary, food safety certification and what ever standards.
I also delivery and send document to shipping documents, for attestations and certifications.
If you are involved in the food/feed business you have to apply the Free Sales Cert and Veterinarian Health Cert for the client so as they will receive this certified, attested by embassy, and notarised by lawyers.
Please don't shrugged and say this is not my job. Tho the portfolio is a lot but eventually you will understand why, what, who and when.
It helps with your career in the long run and you will find ways and means to be more proficient to short cut your working time and also use software like MS Word, Excel and Outlook to your advantage.
I forget to mention I also do the labelling, safety signage and help with the labels for the product we sell.
For that I use Corel Draw, a Dell workstation, 2 monitors and a4 colour laser printer and helps from the printers.
I hope you will advance and grow in your job.
Thank you for the opportunity to share.
