Hi All,
I apologize if this is already a thread and I haven't seen it, but I was hoping to get some advice on a quality food defense monitoring strategy.
As part of our vulnerability assessment, we've identified a step where restricting access to the process to authorized personnel seems to be the best mitigation strategy. Employees that should be in the room wear blue uniforms and it would be very suspicious if other employees were in the room.. few people have reason to be there.
What would be a good monitoring component for this and further what would you recommend for verification? I was thinking of exception monitoring, because like I said most of the time (the whole time I've been here) only the appropriate personnel are in there doing their job. But what would exception monitoring look like? Corrective actions for when people need to be removed from the room? And what would verification look like? Should I just walk by and verify that only authorized personnel are in the room or would it be better to have someone from a different department go into the room and see if anyone questions them being there?
Or maybe I should use a different monitoring style altogether.
Too bad the FDA guidance on the IA rule is incomplete for now.
Thanks for any comments, they are much appreciated and welcomed,
C. Holstein
