Hi
I am in a bit of a debate with the company I work for (only been here 3 months) regarding chemicals used to clean machines. For me I am not confident explaining to and Auditor the chemicals we use and about safety.
Currently we are using a cleaner which is not food safe and also solvents to remove glue, ink etc. I have said this is no good as it is also eating away at the machinery.
I have spoken with my TM and all I get is the solvent will evaporate, get others opinions on this. I don't want any other persons opinion form the site as they will say it is ok as they have done this for years, My issue is how did they get to this conclusion as for me we should be using food safe chemicals.
I also believe the solvents are reacting with the machines as we are seeing paint removing from them which I believe is from the chemicals.
Look forward to hearing your comments!
