7.4.2 - Tools and other sharp objects
hi my friends :)
can u explain me please what is the rational behind 7.4.2 Tools and other sharp objects?
what is the scope of this section? is it include shears?
is snap-off-blade knives prohibited completely, or just when it's not controlled?
and the last quesion how do i do this control practically?
thanks :)
i don t think is prohibited but we need to show that you have a sharp/blades are controlled
a program need to be implemented to control your sharp instruments
snap off blades are prohibited for BRC.
Clause 4.9.1.2 "Snap off blades SHALL not be used"
If there is a shall then it has to be.
Sharp control , there are numerous threads on here relating to it, the way my clients deal with it is to have all knives/sharps controlled in a locked box and then signed out and back with a record of condition.
Hi,
This is for monitoring purposes, to ensure that if any blades are damaged the risk of a piece braking of and entering product is minimised.
All you require is a documented check to show that all blades have been checked for integrity (no missing pieces).
And yes ,most definitely, snap-off-blade knives are prohibited completely. This is due to the nature of these blades. They are able to be snapped off!
