Hello,
I am the QM at a dietary supplement company in the US.
The company owner has asked me if we should have an SOP for possible injuries that may occur in the kitchen when team members are using machinery.
My first response is no and that this is not a quality issue. Would this be something to include in the employee handbook or is this considered common knowledge (that depending on injury, use first aid, call ambulance, hospital, etc.)?
Additionally, I've been asked this: "Can you host a first aid workshop and write a protocol (SOP) for the whole team? This seems like it should fall under quality."
Again, this doesn't strike me as a quality issue and seems more like a safety regulation that would be hosted by human resources.
Thanks in advance!
Sam
