Can someone share a Food Contact Equipment policy & procedure?

As in what? Could you be more specific?

An owner was fabricating a part ( he's a machinist) for an Auger and did so without my knowledge. He created a piece for the auger just to see if it would work before he actually went and bought the  food safe stainless steel.  It rusted.  The equipment never made it production but it could have...... I have a Sanitary Design form but need an actual step by step procedure of what to do before you purchase anything that is going to be used food contact.

You could also use an approval program. It is a bit more cumbersome, but it allows for all departments to weigh in on these kinds of decisions.

 

However, being an owner he could disregard either one of these, if he doesn't understand their importance.

Setana - agreed. He wants to do what is needed  for food safety but it has to be very black & white. Do you have an example of Approval Programs ?
