When the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was enacted 2011, manufacturers contributing to the creation of food, pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements were mandated to implement systems and controls that specifically address the hazards which impact the safety of the food supply. This new law puts the burden on the individual company's CEO and board of directors to ensure that the food produced is safe. The implementation of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and the Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls (HARPC) emerged as primary guiding principles, shifting the focus on responding to contamination in the U.S. food supply to prevention. Where Does Your Lubrication Program Fit In? When it comes to the lubrication and lubricant contributions to FSMA, facilities need to implement, follow and maintain several procedures to ensure compliance. These steps range from creating a dedicated maintenance team and documented procedures to using the right lubricants and properly applying them. Facilities also need to understand the various contamination types (biological, physical and chemical threats), along with ensuring their lubrication program uses a lubricant identification system and proper lubricant storage and handling. At the end of the day, you need to ensure that your lubrication program can be held accountable for meeting the FSMA legislation.
