Hello IFSQN,
Today in our facility we had a little incident where one of our vents began smoking which quickly has filled the production areas with fumes. I believe this would constitute as not only a safety hazard but also potential product contamination. It is no longer smoking, but the facility is still filled with fumes. I want to halt production and wait for the fumes to be fully ventilated, however senior management will not take this situation seriously because, "It will eventually sort itself out". Does anyone have any guidance on how to begin handling a situation such as this? We are a confectionary company located in the United States and uphold BRC certification.
Thank you
