Understanding and implementing good manufacturing practices (GMPs) in a food manufacturing facility will help to prevent situations that could lead to customer illness and or even death 

So let's talk about GMPs 

The GMPs or good manufacturing practices are practices that help to ensure food is produced in a clean and safe environment 

GMPs are practices to obtain safe and quality products and what is considered a safe product 

A safe product is a product that is not going to cause any harm to the consumers when the food is prepared and or eaten according to its intended use

Now what we have here is a complete list of the current good manufacturing practices required in a food manufacturing facility 

Today we will only be focusing on the GMP's rules that are within your control to manage, personnel practices, and general requirements

• Personal hygiene 
• Clothing and personal equipment personnel practices 
• Disease control
• Cleaning and sanitation and pest control 

GMPs are the foundation of the food safety management system. GMPs are the basics we need to know and perform to keep food products free of adulteration. Good manufacturing practices aim to protect the product from any microbial chemical or physical hazards that may cause it to become unsafe or unfit for the purpose

The GMPs are mandatory for everyone working in a food manufacturing facility. It’s everyone's responsibility to guarantee that products are produced in a clean and safe environment to prevent contamination of the food

All employees, contractors, and visitors will need to comply with GMPs

Okay let's talk about the personal hygiene 

Germs are present on human skin, hair, under fingernails, dirty clothes, and in the mouth and nose. The company's personal hygiene practices are an important way to reduce the risk of contamination; as I mentioned before whether employee or not, everyone should comply with the following practices that help to minimize bacterial contamination

• Daily showers or bathing 
• Change into clean clothes 
• Trim and clean fingernails
• Shave or wash the beard and wear a mask, and have a good dental hygiene
• The hands are the major source of contact between food and food industry workers

Employees shall keep their work area and equipment always clean and sanitized. Areas such as florist drain walls, table tools, and conveyors. Only approved chemicals and approved cleaning tools should be used and always place utensils and chemicals in their designated area

All chemical products sanitizers, cleaners, lubricants, and solvents shall have a label that identifies the content in the container. It is not acceptable to have containers without a label and make sure to keep updated SDS on file

Pests are a source of both microbial and physical contamination. It’s the employee's responsibility to ensure all doors remain shut when not in use

Any signs of pest activity must be reported to the supervisor. Information about pest citing will be passed on to the pest control contractor 

If all the practices we talked about are not well implemented it can cause outbreaks and get people very sick and die and the company can face legal consequences including costly fines and if the outbreak has a devastating effect, possible shutdown

Pollution now is an inevitable consequence of modern industrial technology,   rapid and convenient transport, and comfortable housing. But excessive pollution may interfere with man’s health and his mental,   social and economic wellbeing. Governments, all over the world,   have formulated laws and regulations to correct and cure past violations of good environmental practices. This act gave rise to Environmental Audit.

An environmental Audit is a type of evaluation intended to identify a company's environmental compliance against set standards and principles. In other words, it is an excellent means of identifying a company's environmental risks and liabilities ensuring legal compliance, and enhancing informed decision-making.

Environmental Auditing is basically an environmental management tool for measuring the effects of certain activities on the environment based on set rules and regulations.

Environmental Auditing has helped confirm to stakeholders that an organization is exercising effective environmental management and is genuinely pursuing a positive environmental agenda.

But then, why should environmental auditing be carried out? It is done when development is already in place and is used to check on existing practices, assessing the environmental effect of such activities. The benefits of Environmental Auditing cannot be over-emphasized.

It helps inform stakeholders and decision-makers on environment management and performance.

To assess and identify environmental fire risks and known sources of fire liabilities and causes of casualties.

Identify loopholes in environmental fire management procedures, and elucidate their control and mitigation measures before they can lead to incidents.

Environmental auditing is an effective instrument for assessing the environmental safety standards of an organization.

Stages of Environmental Audit.

There are Five (5) phases of Environmental auditing. They include:

• Scheduling the Audit: The process of Environmental Auditing starts with the organization's Environmental Management Representative (EMR), scheduling the audit at an appropriate risk-based frequency. When doing this, the Emergency Management Representative coordinates the timing to minimize disruptions to project operations. They also need to record the audit in each Environmental Management Plan (EMP) using the appropriate template from their Environmental Management Systems (EMS) manual.
• Planning the Audit: The next step is for the Environmental Management Representative, to establish and document the area to be audited, the reason and scope of auditing, and the contact names for the area. The EMR must also appoint a qualified lead Auditor or audit member if need be.
• Conducting the Audit: Here, all the relevant personnel in the Audit team, meet to discuss the scope of the audit, the proposed audit agenda, the audit objectives, any project personnel that needs to be contacted or interviewed, and a tentative time to hold the exit meeting.
• Developing The Audit Report: The Audit team has to prepare a report based on all the objective evidence collected during the audit. The report will be sent to the contractor. The final report must be distributed to the auditor, contractor, independent reviewer and environmental auditor, the state, and other relevant personnel.
• Audit Follow-up: The Environmental Management Representative follows up on closing out any remaining contract items by the contractor. It can be done separately and can be done whenever the next relevant audit takes place, depending on the finding significance.

 In conclusion, therefore, an Environmental audit is carried out to provide an indication to company management about how the environmental Organization system and equipment are performing. As a  result, the best  practicable means can  be  applied to  preserve air, water, soil, plant, and animal life from the adverse effect

The supplier audit services provided by CDG Inspection Ltd will assist in ensuring that the desired processes and procedures for reaching compliance are followed. We are based in Gurgaon, Haryana. We will compile the audit findings and submit a comprehensive performance report to both the client and the supplier.

As a result, they are frequently tailored to the needs of the company. These statements, however, only give a limited level of certainty. As a result, a chain of custody control should be a key component of any REACH compliance approach. In addition, to reduce risk and costs, a balanced approach to supply chain engagement and involvement, backed by audits and monitoring, must be developed.

A supplier audit inspects a supplier’s usage of industry regulation practices, including health and safety and correct manufacturing processes. Generally, auditing a supplier covers a large area with several practices. Therefore they are usually bespoke to the client’s requirements. The supplier auditing process can differ for each industry, from food to electrical goods.

As companies grow the size of their supply chain, selecting the appropriate supplier is essential. A supplier’s reputation and quality will ensure that business runs smoothly and reduce potential issues or risks. Because of this, an audit of suppliers is essential to help in the decision-making process.

Some of the benefits of implementing a supplier audit are:

1. The Audit Reveals Potential Risks, A supplier audit can review all production processes, including shipping, manufacturing, and quality. They may give insight into gaps and check if these will cause any issues with the delivery to a client. Therefore potentially mitigating delays or deformities in the product.

2. Improves Customer Satisfaction, An organization relies on its reputation with customers. This is done through the quality of the products put forth to them. Implementing strong standards and ensuring a supplier follows them allows for customer satisfaction to be upheld. A supplier audit can assist in the quality control processes of a supplier to potentially mitigate any product quality or safety issues. It is also a way for an organization to measure the supplier’s performance.

3. Helps Build Communication With Suppliers

A supplier audit is also a way to improve and maintain strong communication with a supplier. Clear visibility and understanding of suppliers’ activities can assist with improvements and the business relationship. Regularly scheduled audits ensure objectives are met and can be constantly developed depending on the organization’s needs.

On average, our customers tell us they see an increase in their dust collector performance by 25% or more and longer times between shutdowns. Our CIL engineers are trained to help you get more out of your current system by using the latest technological advancements, operating techniques and maintenance procedures. Doing so will improve your system efficiency and lower your operating costs. Also, we identify any technical issues you are having with your system and offer suggestions on how to implement them. Often times minor adjustments are all that is needed to see dramatic improvements in your current operation. These adjustments can lead to significant savings both in terms of increased efficiency, and lower maintenance costs. A few of the most common issues we identify during our system audits: CIL condition and unit selection: recommend repairs (structural, pulse valves, gaskets, etc.), retrofit older shaker and reverse-air to newer pulse jet style, condense several inefficient small units into one larger system, etc. Examine current operating methods and make recommendations on how to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and system downtime (e.g., start up and shut down procedures, fan operating parameters, cleaning system settings, etc.)Filter selection: recommend alternative fabrics, finishes (e.g., PTFE membrane), filter types (e.g., pleated filters)Examine current maintenance procedures and make recommendations for improvement. Includes daily, weekly, monthly, yearly procedures, inspection checklist, handling of replacement bags, diagnosing need for bag replacement, proper bag replacement techniques, etc. Replacing out of date equipment and methods with latest technology, such as pleated filters, clean-on-demand cleaning, PTFE membrane filters, etc. Also includes recommendations for new OSHA standards for combustible dust, such as explosion protection and fire suppression systems. Dust control is a vital element in meeting safety, health and environmental requirements. Dust control systems not only help reduce site emissions but also help protect employees. Dust produced by material processing operations and mining is a major source of airborne fumes and dust. Dust produced during mining, construction and on unpaved roads is a leading contributor to environmental pollution (specifically air pollution). For instance, besides being an explosion hazard especially when dispersed in air, coal dust is quite hazardous mainly because it is a leading cause of black lung disease among miners on the other hand, dust produced from sand, gravel and stone processing causes silicosis. Dust control systems mainly suppress and collect dust and fumes produced by industrial processes such as cement manufacture, mining and steel

CDG is an ISO 17021 accredited inspection body, we provide environmental audit/environmental inspection services in India.An environmental audit is a systematic examination to assess a companys environmental responsibility. It aims to identify environmental compliance, verify environmental responsibility implementation gaps whether they meet stated objectives, along with related corrective actions.

The audit examines the potential hazards or risks posed by the company. Areas examined may include company environmental policies and procedures, energy use practices, recycling, waste, conservation, and pollution. Then, the company can use the results to determine what changes need to be made for compliance.

What are the types of environmental audits?

Environmental compliance audit evaluates a companys environmental performance and environmental responsibility practices, whether the company has complied with legal requirements and other requirements such as ISO 14001. It is usually the most comprehensive and, perhaps, the most expensive.

Environmental management audit verifies whether the company has met the environmental objectives, policies, and performance set by management.

Functional environmental audit focuses on one element or impact of a particular activity, such as wastewater management audits, materials, and air quality monitoring.

Environmental audits are important for several reasons:

To build a good company reputation. Environmental audits can strengthen the companys image. For example, although it may not be fully compliant, the improvement efforts made will be seen as a positive step by the public. And, if it is compliant, it can lead to positive publicity, encouraging the public not to hesitate to continue buying products from the company.

To avoid negative campaigns. Increasing external demands for environmental responsibility by pressure groups and environmental activists are forcing companies to check their compliance with environmental requirements. The increasing concern for the environment has made these demands more and more popular.

To adapt and comply with more stringent environmental regulations. Governments adopt more stringent environmental regulations and standards, usually by international consensus. It forces companies to comply if they do not want to be penalized.

What are the benefits of an environmental audit?

Environmental audits and their results provide useful input to:

Provide management with information about the management and performance of the companys environment as input for making decisions,

Identify risks related to environmental responsibility and take action to implement them,

Ensure company operations comply with environmental laws and requirements and, if not, take necessary corrective actions,

Identify environmental management system weaknesses before they cause problems,

Develop organizational culture and increase environmental awareness among people within the company,

Identify opportunities for improvement in environmental management and performance to drive increased efficiency and cost savings,

Improve company transparency to stakeholders such as government, customers, and investors to support long term good relationships with them,

Encourage positive publicity by publishing audit results, thereby enhancing the reputation and image of the company, and
