No problem Irene. I think the HACCP manual and some of the procedures are a little outdated based on current best practice, but it should give you a good start nevertheless.

The documents at the top of the thread were originally designed for a BRC Packaging Standard system (and they passed the test). With some adaption I'm sure they would provide a helpful starting point for any packaging organisation embarking on management system development for BRC, ISO 22000 or EN15593 certification.

I made some minor chages to these docuements recently and I will update them next week.

Thanks for the feedback Abdul. It was written several years ago and there is no doubt it needs updating with modern thinking and best practice, the problem is I just don't have the time. All the same I'm sure it has provided many newbies with a good starting point - judging by the number of topic views.

Thanks for sharing the documents - really a huge help. A couple of documents are referenced that I am not seeing:
Employment Medical Questionnaire QD 16.30
Guidance Notes For Pre Employment Medical Questionnaire QD 16.31
Colour Blindness Assessment Record QD 22.2

They are old files but I will try to locate them for you.

[Simon]

Files attached as promised.

A few points to note. The colour blindness assessment record is to be used in conjucntion with Ishihara’s Design Chart Book. No good on its own.

In UK/EU law now you cannot ask prospective employees to complete a pre employment medical questionnaire, this can be done only after you have made the offer of the job - due to possible discrimination on health grounds.

Dear Simon,

Thanks for sharing the hygiene documents. It was really helpful. I registered on this forum a while ago but started to explore it recently. It's so helpful. Our company is manufacturing food packaging products (plastic packaging items- Blow molding, injeciton and extrusion processes involved) We are ISO 9001 certified and recently certified with ISO 14001 as well.

Now we are looking for ISO 22000 certification. I'm slightly confused about the documentation requirements. Can anyone help in finalizing the documentation requirements intended for primary packaging manufacturers.

Although, we are not food manufacturers, our products have direct contact with foods. Therefore, i appreciate if anyone can help me to figure out an outline regarding documentation requirements to our position in the supply chain.


Thanks,
YOUSEF

Simon,
I am putting our Glass / Brittle Plastics Register together today and found your forms related to this after my first survey of the filling rooms.
I was going to do an inventory only and quickly realized a Risk Assessment would be necessary.
You, sir, are my favorite person today.
Thanks for your help!

I will take it as a compliment - thank you very much.

thank you simon

[Yousef]

Thanks for sharing the document,
It was very helpful to finalize our HACCP documentation. During the Certification audit, external auditor observed that our traceability procedure need to be updated. We have product identification procedures in connection QMS and he observed that it wasn't adequate enough to locate product or materials easily. We are supplying injection molded plastic products to food industries, therefore, I appreciate if anyone can share a traceability procedure suitable for our process features.



Thanks,

Thanks for the information, I thought this was the way and your example really assisted

[Waleri]

Thank you Simon  

[Simon]

The documents are a little old now Waleri.  Originally they were created for BRC/IOP Standard issue 1 and have not been updated since. The documents do not consider things like food defense, allergens, chemical migration etc.  Probably still a good starting point though.

This documentary system has achieved certification to the BRC/IoP Packaging Standard - category B. Obviously all of the procedures were in place and fully implemented.

Hi Simon,

First I want to thank you for sharing your documents with us.

I started working in a plastic packaging company recently and all of our Food Producer Customers want us to build a HACCP sytem. We have already ISO 9001. As a food engineer I think it will be hard to implement such a system. After detirmining the CCPs how the limits will be controlled. Q.A LAb is not compatible with microbiological analysis and ther are no checks for the raw materials (polymers) whether it's chemically suitable or not.
Did you face the same proble

Dear Mary Rose vergara,

 

google "download 7-zip" ?

 

It's 100% free. i have an old version which opens file with no problem.

 

(I  would have said "download winzip"  but I understand current versions are genuinely shareware.)

 

Rgds / Charles.C

 

PS - probably best to avoid C-Net download since this has a reputation for including "extras".

[fgjuadi]

Windows will open zip files no need to grab winzip,  right click on the file and hit "extract all"

Amazing ! I never knew that.

 

But yr suggestion seems not to work as described for my XP., ie  no "extract all" appears. However here is bit longer work-around i found.

 

1. double click to open the zip file ( > a pop-up list of files inside zip )

2. select 1st file in pop-up list (total ca. 20 files)

3. press CTRL + A to select all the files

4. drag the list to any appropriate location in windows explorer (eg make a new empty folder before starting step 1).

5. all the files are automatically extracted

(according to microsoft a wizard option should have appeared after step 1 to help extract all the files but nothing appears in my set-up)

 

Thks again.

 

Rgds / Charles.C

 

PS - i agree dwling is more initial effort but afterwards only a right click > winzip > extract is required, similar to yr suggestion (+1).
