Production Supervisors: Conduct shift-start GMP compliance checks on all operators before line entry, daily floor checks, and apply immediate correction for violations.

  • Hair & Facial Hair: Hairnets are mandatory in all processing and packaging areas, fully covering all head hair and ears. Beard nets are required for any facial hair exceeding 1/4 inch in length.
  • Jewelry Control: No jewelry (including earrings, watches, rings with settings, necklaces, bracelets, nose or lip rings) may be worn in production. The only exception is a smooth, plain wedding band with no stones. False nails, nail polish, eyelashes, and heavy cosmetics are strictly prohibited in the facility.
  • Personal Items & Foods: Personal cell phones, keys, water bottles, candies, gum, and chewing tobacco are strictly prohibited on the production floor. Eating, drinking, and smoking are restricted to designated break rooms.
