Site Safety Check
 
Site Safety Check™ from SG Software Group (SG) enables any food business to easily execute and maintain FDA/USDA inspections and comply with other regulators by automating multiple inspection processes. Using the SG Framework Solution™ suite we easily create custom process for inspection checks covering production equipment for sanitation and maintenance, facility sanitation, quality testing, packaging, and quality criteria. We make it possible to combine data points required by multiple regulators like fire equipment inspections, OSHA safety inspections, and local health inspections into single inspection workflows. Site Safety Check eliminates paper by automatically storing your data securely for on demand recall or printing.
 

FDA 21CFR and USDA Regulation
FDA as you know, requires site and process inspections to remain compliant and keep your operation running. Focus on documentation and control will become stricter with S-510 passing (Click here to read more), and so will the penalties for non-compliance. Site Safety Check can be your answer to addressing Management and Control of your inspections and data easily. If you eliminate paper you will eliminate up to 20% or more of your issues when it comes to preparing for and going through an audit.
 
HACCP Food Safety Programs the Industry Standard Food safety can be monitored at all stages in the process but is most effective when it takes on a preventative approach, as put forth by the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). HACCP food safety focuses on preventative action though food inspection programs used to identify potential hazards. If food safety hazards are identified, then Critical Control Points (CCPs) are taken to eliminate or reduce the risk. HAACP food safety programs are regulated by the FDA and USDA with the primary goal of keeping foods as safe as possible.
 
Then there is a USDA inspection. You need to scramble to get things in shape, but they dig and find inconsistency. At best you get a re-inspection with the specifics of what you need to do to get back in compliance. It is painful because it is your job… SG is making it easy to comply. Our solution forces consistency by insuring your safety and quality organization execute company defined procedures the same each time and at the prescribed intervals. Inspect each production line at startup, changeover or each scheduled sanitation complete teardown. Staff electroniclly capture events on PDAs for easy report retrievals. You will always have the records at your finger tips. It is as simple as that.

HACCP: (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points)

HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.
 
Site Safety Check can be the core of your HACCP process covering inbound quality, production facility sanitation, equipment safety/sanitation, storage sanitation/monitoring and outbound shipments.

Homeland Security:

With focus also coming from Homeland Security, food is seen as a weak point in security raising expectations of stricter enforcement and additional rules.
