Dealing with glass debris in food processing operations

Certainly! Here's the rewritten content in English: --- In the food industry, one common concern among our clients involves the best practices for cleaning up broken glass and the subsequent debris. Fortunately, Vikan boasts experienced Customer Service and Technical Sales Teams, along with a specialized Hygiene Team, ready to provide practical advice tailored to your needs. Accidents can and do happen—whether it’s a bottle or glass jar falling off a production line, conveyor belt, or packaging, shattering on the floor. These incidents must be addressed properly, not just casually. Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 outlines European food safety requirements. It emphasizes that food must never reach the market if it poses any risk to human health, is unfit for consumption, or has been contaminated by foreign objects like glass that could potentially harm consumers. Global food safety standards also stress the importance of managing glass contamination. For businesses adhering to the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, requirement 4.9 focuses on preventing chemical or physical contamination of products. Specifically, clause 4.9.4.2 states that systems should be in place to handle container breakages between cleaning points and sealing. This includes using dedicated, clearly identifiable cleaning equipment (like color-coded tools), which must be stored separately from other cleaning supplies. Additionally, there should be designated, covered waste bins for collecting damaged containers and shards. As a result, many food industry customers turn to us for guidance on the best methods to clean up broken glass and its debris. Thankfully, Vikan’s teams are equipped to offer comprehensive support. We can assist you in selecting, using, maintaining, and storing dedicated, color-coded cleaning tools specifically for dealing with glass breakages. We also help in choosing appropriate, accessible, closable, and color-coded waste containers for collecting debris from broken glass. Here are some general tips our Vikan experts typically recommend: - Opt for a unique color for tools related to cleaning up glass debris—a color not used elsewhere on-site. High-visibility colors like orange or pink are often ideal. - Keep these items nearby where breakages are likely to occur, ensuring quick access during emergencies. - Ensure these tools are kept far from other cleaning equipment to avoid cross-contamination. Ideally, store them in a separate container, such as a Vikan bucket with a lid, where shards can be safely placed. Establish regular routines for emptying and cleaning this container and the glass breakage cleaning equipment. - Use a mobile shadowboard to organize the tools neatly. This board can easily be rolled out when an accident happens. Several Vikan products are frequently recommended for this specific task. Clients often choose all of these or only those most suited to their specific business operations. Being prepared for accidents is crucial. Select the best products to have readily available, ensuring compliance with vital food safety regulations.
