BRCGS Issue 9 Requirement: 4.9.6.3 - Other Foreign-Body Contaminants
Hello! I am trying to better understand what "other" foreign-body contaminants would be included under 4.9.6.3. It states "contamination that is not specifically covered in section 4.9." Since 4.9 does include staples, clips, pens, mobile devices, wood, glass containers, etc., I'm not sure what to include in my risk assessment for the "other" category. Any thoughts?
it could be other FM that is determined from a hazard analysis. Rocks. Hard plastic. bones.
it may be a clause that does not apply to you.
what risk assessment are you doing?
I already have risk assessments done for BRCGS clauses 4.9.2.2 (Staples and paperclips), 4.9.3.3 Glass Breakage, 4.9.5.1 Wood in the Plant, and 4.9.6.2 Control of Pens, and Glass and Brittle Plastics. Would it be acceptable to say that all major foreign-body contaminants are covered under these other clauses, and there are no other major foreign-body contaminant risks?
But then I would be confused as to why BRC felt the need to include this new clause 4.9.6.3?
Correct! I do not believe that we have any other potential foreign-body contaminants beyond the ones listed in other risk assessments. I should be covered if I just state this within the risk-assessment, right?
