Conveyance
Objective:
- Clean / sanitize equipment and components periodically (e.g., immediately prior to use, after maintenance)
- Clean / sanitize locations immediately around the step periodically (e.g., immediately prior to use, after maintenance, when security devices are breached)
- Conduct periodic checks of package integrity (e.g., upon receipt and prior to use), including for products, ingredients, and processing aids
- Maximize visibility of operations, equipment, and locations (e.g., install mirrors, light adequately, keep area clear of visual obstructions)
- Prohibit personal items from production, storage or other restricted areas
- Restrict access immediately around the step to authorized personnel
- Restrict access to equipment and controls to authorized personnel
- Restrict access to ingredients, products, and/or cargo to authorized personnel
- Restrict access to openings or access points (e.g., to bins, tanks, vats, ports/valves, inspection points, system openings) to authorized personnel
- Restrict operations to authorized personnel
- Use Clean in Place (CIP) equipment and prescribed CIP procedures (e.g., pre-rinse, wash, post-rinse, drain, and sanitize)
- Use an alarm system to alert access breaches to location, equipment, controls, and coverings for openings or access points (e.g., contact, motion, infrared)
- Use an alarm system to detect suspect events (e.g., motion detection in restricted area where personnel should not be present)
- Use automated equipment (e.g., for dispensing, injection, incorporating, packing) to restrict access to product
- Use coverings to secure openings, access points and open systems/operations (e.g., shrouds, covers, lids, panels, seals) to restrict access to product
- Use electronic access control system to restrict access to location and/or controls (e.g., cipher lock, swipe cards, biometric devices, RFID)
- Use locks to secure location, equipment, and controls when not in use or unattended (e.g., use tamper-proof containers, locks)
- Use one-way valves, sample ports to restrict access to product
- Use peer monitoring (e.g., buddy system) during operations
- Use personnel (e.g., guards, supervisors, trusted employees) for visual observation
- Use personnel identification (e.g., color coded uniforms, badges) to clearly identify authorized personnel around restricted locations, equipment, controls, and operations
- Use surveillance equipment (e.g., cameras) to increase observation
- Use tamper-evident devices (e.g., seals, covers, locks) to secure openings, access points, equipment and components
- Use tamper-evident devices (e.g., seals, covers, locks) to secure packaging and storage containers
- Visually inspect equipment, equipment components, and supplies prior to use
