56
(e) Preventive Maintenance
57. Continue..
(a)Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) :- In the
FMCG industry SOP is prepared in more elaborate
manner for manufacture of each SKU.
The SOP complete in all respects, ensures total
safety in FMCG industry.
57
58. Continue..
(b)Monitoring:- It is essential to monitor each &
every operation for getting success. Hence all the
processes & safety aspects must be monitored.
(c)Safety Audit:- Audit is an essential step to check
the application of systems in true manner. Hence
safety audit is to be done at regular interval so as to
ensure
the
following-up
of
SOP
with
parameters, critical points, safety aspects and all
steps for prevention of accidents.
58
59. Continue..
(d)Risk Analysis:- Analysis in systemic manner by
considering all aspects covering men, machine,
processing, activities, building and all events including
hazard due to human error or failure of any of the
operation or tool.

avoidable by taking precautions and timely
maintenance of machineries, building, pipelines etc.
So effective maintenance programme will certainly 59
eliminate accident.
