Is it necessary to give each knife its own serial number? Here at our company its necessary to give many people their own Metal detectable knife for the manufacture of food grade labeling. I have started a "Sharps register" for issuing knives and another tab for re issuing knives. Additionally, I have begun working on the document work instruction portion to this. Currently all we have is a OPL for using only a Metal Detectable knife.
Any help is appreciated. Do we really need to give serial numbers to each knife, and if so, is it ok to use possibly asset stickers rather than hand engraving all knives?
