SSOP: The control of Wastes
Sanitation standard operating procedures
SSOP 10: the control of Wastes
1. Requirements:
Wastes must be continuously brought out of the production plant. Never keep any waste left at the production plant, which may affect on the environment hygiene of the plant. This will also help to protect the products from contamination.
2. The current conditions of the company:
• The company has a sewage system at the capacity of 600 m3/ day.
• The wastes of the company include solid wastes (bone, head bone, innards, skin, partial, fish fat, damaged package…) and liquid wastes (washing water).
• All the solid wastes are stored in special baskets with marking to distinguish, put on the floor at separate plants and transported frequently to the outside.
• The company has staff specializing in collecting solid waste and transporting them out of the plant.
• The plant floor and sewage system are build based on the principle that effluent will flow from cleaner area to less cleaner area, to the outside and watery enough to avoid any water still that may be the source of smell around the plant.
• Pumping system works 24/24 to ensure that all the effluent is pumped to the outside and not remains in the plant causing smell.
3. Procedures to follow:
• Solid wastes are collected and transported out of the production plant frequently, gathered at the collection point outside the plant. Never let solid waste overload in the storing equipments.
• Equipments for storing solid wastes must be tight, with no hole, made of suitable water-proof and anticorrosive materials, easy to clean and be clearly distinguished with other storing equipments.
• Storing equipments must be cleanly sanitized before being brought back to the plant at the end of the work shift. They must be stored separately outside the production plant.
• Sewage system must be covered with nets at the end to keep the solid waste, not let them run out to the effluent treatment system. Never move these nets away.
• Sewages, drainage traps are always maintained and frequently cleaned to avoid blocking.
• Check frequently the effluent pumping system to avoid problems of water still, running upstream which may create smell around the production area.
4. Supervising and Assigning duties:
• The team leaders are responsible for carrying out this code.
• Employees of Waste Collection Unit, Industrial Hygiene Unit and Technical Unit on duty of the company are responsible for following this code.
• The QCs in charge of the production at units are responsible for supervising the sanitization and maintenance of drainage and effluent treatment system for twice a day. Inspection result is recorded in the Inspection report on daily sanitization (factory, machines, processing equipments).
• Any amendment to this code must be approved by the Board of Directors.
5. Corrective actions:
• If the effluent is discovered to be unable to be drained all away or any smell is in the plant, the QC at the production plant must re-check the waste collection and sanitization, check the sewage system as well as effluent treatment system and immediately report to the Production Management Department to take duly actions to prevent it from affecting on the environment inside the production area.
6. Verification:
• Records on the implementation of this code are verified by the leader of HACCP team or the leader/deputy leader of Production Management department (members of HACCP).
7. Records:
• Inspection report on daily sanitization (factory, machines, processing equipments)
All the documents and Forms recording the implementation of this code that are verified must be stored in the records of Company’s SSOP for at least 02 years.
