Shift Changeover Safety Checklist

by Colin Porter, from the Community

This shift changeover safety checklist helps supervisors ensure a safe, orderly handover between shifts in food and beverage manufacturing. It covers amenities, housekeeping, and equipment condition across raw materials, powders, batching, cook floor, and pack lines. The form guides verification of critical control points (CCPs) aligned with HACCP, including line and connection sterilization, pasteurization parameters, and filler sterilization, with evidence capture across the shift. It prompts immediate reporting of leaks or hazards to production and QA, restricts device use in sensitive areas, and requires sign-off by incoming supervisors accepting plant status as-is.

Shift Wrap-up Audit
This shift wrap-up audit helps manufacturing teams confirm end-of-shift standards are met across production lines. It covers masterbatch and blending checks, completion of process, audit, and pellet quality forms, and verification of raw material usage and locator sheets. Supervisors assess whether lines are running to rate, adherence to special instructions, proper use of quench tanks and purge pans, and overall cleanliness on the floor and mezzanine. Operators can note safety, quality, or production concerns before sign-off, including observations in 3D filament and quench areas. The checklist supports consistent production, quality control, and safe handovers between teams.
