we have attached high power magnets to the side of the knives and the operators attach the knife to the front of the press.

I am trying to get our policies in order for BRC. In section 5.8.2.3.......How do you control knives from falling into a flexo press? How does anyone keep their knives/razor blades accessible without placing them on top of a press? any suggestions?
"5.8.2.3 Sharp cutting instruments used in the manufacture of packaging materials shall be controlled to prevent product contamination . This shall include control into and out of the factory."

Here is the other section that is more detailed....
5.8.2.2 Sharp blades. equipment. and tools shall not be left in a position that allows them to contaminate the product.Posted 19 December 2014 - 01:32 PM
This is BRC Packaging Standard, no?
Either way, Set up a work station, where knives are available (close) to operators and can be stored in a sanitary manner or...
Knife holsters are available:

Box Cutter : http://www.safetykni...CFe7m7AodMS8A8A
Ensure that your company does not supply snap-off blades, when in doubt.. complete a Risk Assessment on aspects of the operation you are uncertain of.
