Was the damaged packaging or product removed and discarded appropriately as per the safe disposal procedure?
√
When trying to determine the extent of damage, did you consider the type of packaging in which the product/packaging is stored.
(Note: Smoked taint lingers on packaging)
√
Raw materials / packaging materials in danger moved to a safe place?
√
To examine distressed product / packaging organoleptically, remove to an area where smoke odor of the fire is not present
√
Was the above attempts appropriate?

Production plastic equipment is damaged due to fire and cannot be washed and sanitised as it has melted. It was discarded and replaced

Comments/observations/recommendations on emergency responses:
D). QC, Micro and R & D members of the food safety team did conduct organoleptic testing, general micro, and humidity testing for damp bags.
E). Clearance to commence production was given by the Food Safety Team Leader, together with the respective Department Manager from a food safety perspective.
F). Employees: Walked over WIP bags: Recommended – Regular drills will overcome these issues

Kelpack, thanks for the response. Must i create a checklist that covers this scenarios and attach it with the emergency mock drill records?
Posted 16 March 2021 - 10:23 AM
Yes. I used this scenaria based on the fire drill that was carried out by the SHE department and I aligned all the Food Safety Aspects in the event of a fire happening on site.
Thanks

I had the same issue, we used to conduct the fire drills, which used to be OK, However, a note was added on ISO 22000:2018 Version on section 8.4.2 they listed some examples now we need to test the system with "Act of God" events
"NOTE Examples of emergency situations that can affect food safety and/or production are natural disasters,
