Where do you document things like:
frocks must not be worn while picking anything up off the floor
OR
Utility knives are used for opening cases only, not food contact packaging?
Are these all spelled out in the GMP's? Employee handbook? Job descriptions?
It seems like we have a lot of these 'rules', but they're not written down.

For us, those are listed in the GMPs that each employee signs off on when they are hired. We have annual training where this is revisited.

I have often seen in both a policy and in training that employees sign off.

Would you be willing to share a little of your GMP Manual?
Anyone else willing to share a comprehensive GMP list?

Hello Pizza&Sandwich:
We split our GMP manual into sections as below:-
a. Plant Facilities (plant design & location, lighting, ventilation, drainage, storage, water, steam, incoming material handling etc. Include related layouts)
b. Equipment & Utensils (specify requirement on the selection of materials for the equipment & utensils. Include related layouts)
c. Cleaning, sanitation and maintenance (specify cleaning requirement, cleaning master list, maintenance master list etc.)
d. Waste management (specify method of waste handling. Include related layouts)
e. Chemical control (specify method of non-food chemical handling. Include related layouts)
f. Glass & wood and other physical hazard (e.g. knife) control
g. Personal hygiene (specify requirements e.g. clothing, personal behaviour, visitor control, jewellery policy etc)
h. Pest control (specify the whole program. Include related layouts etc.)
i. Traceability & recall (specify batch code, recall committee etc.)
While for each section, follow the 'format' as given by SpursGirl. Of course, this is not a 'standard' and you can use your creativity to establish your very own GMP manual. Good luck.

We have a Quality Control procedure in our system that sets out guidelines for all our GMP policies. We then use that as our base for the employee handbook, orientation training and our GMP audits.
