SQF 12.8.1 - SOP for dry and liquid waste disposal

Okay heres a brief way to develop an SOP, and comply with the SQF code

 

- What? (What is your SOP about? Purpose?)

- Who? (List who is responsible for what)

- When? (Frequency of tasks, duties, how often each item is carried out)

- Scope.

- Procedure (list all your steps that needed to be conducted). 

 

From the SQF code for dry, and liquid waste disposal:

 

11.9.1 Dry and Liquid Waste Disposal
11.9.1.1 The responsibility and methods used to collect and handle dry, wet and liquid waste and store prior to
removal from the premises shall be documented and implemented. (This is your WHO and procedure)
11.9.1.2 Waste shall be removed on a regular basis and not build up in food handling or processing areas. (This is in your procedure, you must state this as well as IMPLEMENT IT).
Designated waste accumulation areas shall be maintained in a clean and tidy condition until external waste
collection is undertaken. ( Again in your procedure state this and IMPLEMENT IT).
11.9.1.3 Trolleys, vehicles waste disposal equipment, collection bins and storage areas shall be maintained in a
serviceable condition and cleaned and sanitized regularly so as not to attract pests and other vermin. (In procedure state this and IMPLEMENT IT).
11.9.1.4 Adequate provision shall be made for the disposal of all solid processing waste including trimmings,
inedible material and used packaging.  (In procedure state this and IMPLEMENT IT).
11.9.1.5 Where applicable, a documented procedure shall be in place for the controlled disposal of trademarked
materials. Where a contracted disposal service is used, the disposal process shall be reviewed regularly to confirm
compliance. (PROCEDURE AND ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION).

Clear Your Question.it is not too much clear.

 

Dry and Liquid Waste SOP , i think you are asking about this.

 

What type of liquid and solid waste you have and how much quantity? you did not mentioned here.

However you can make SOP like this :

 

SOP For Liquid waste:

For Example in Lab

Liquid waste will be collected in Colour (may be red ) dust bin.

A polyethelence wil be present inside it

when it is filled it is quickly removed.

its waste must be collected at designetd area

etc

Similarly you can make for Dry waste and placed another colour dust bin there.

 

I hope you can understand it.

Just a thought since you have never done this before - has your company ever thought about having an SQF Consultant handle your development for you and then assist on implementation?  Most companies see the value in speed of development vs. employee manpower in hours and hours of work.

The problem is that my job has already hired a consultant but I really think he is not helping us out much. He only comes in one time a week or once in two weeks; and stays for about 1 1/2 hours so it doesnt give us enough time to to understand everything we need to do.

Are you the SQF Practitioner? 

I'm helping our SQF Practitioner with trying to get all the facility paperwork done before the desk audit. But I really think he doesn't understand it either. I am only the shipping/receiving clerk, and my boos gave me another job which is to help the practitioner.
