HACCP Training for plastic film, bag and bin liner manufacturers
Manufacturers of plastic films, bin liners, refuse sacks, and household plastic bags operate in highly competitive retail supply chains where quality, traceability, and contamination control are critical.
Why is HACCP relevant to Cleaning Product Manufacturing?
Although HACCP originated in the food sector, its structured hazard analysis approach is increasingly used within the cleaning chemical and detergent manufacturing industry to demonstrate due diligence, manage risk, and support audit compliance.
Key risks include:
- Physical contamination (metal fragments, foreign bodies)
- Raw material contamination (recycled polymers)
- Cross-contamination in multi-product sites
- Incorrect product specification or thickness
- Allergen risks (in multi-product sites)
Regulatory and compliance pressures may include:
- ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 systems
- Environmental compliance frameworks
- Contract manufacturing requirements
- Retailer audits
- BRCGS standards (where applicable)
HACCP provides a clear, documented framework for:
- Identifying potential hazards
- Establishing critical control points
- Demonstrating due diligence
- Strengthening compliance systems
- Supporting audit readiness
Who this training is for
This training is suitable for any manufacturer of plastic bags and bin liner products. More specifically, it is targeted at those likely to be involved in the development and implementation of HACCP systems, including technical and quality managers, production managers and supervisors, and engineering managers and supervisors
What we offer
Unlike generic food-based HACCP, our programmes are tailored to the manufacturing environments of plastic bag and bin liner products. We offer a range of courses to support HACCP.
HACCP developer training: This training is for those involved in creating or maintaining HACCP plans. It is a two-day training programme that introduces the HACCP principles in the context of plastic bag and bin liner manufacture and the products being manufactured, and seamlessly links to other quality management systems in operation, e.g., ISO 9001. By the end of the two-day course, all the fundamental requirements of HACCP will have been fully explored, and draft HACCP plans for at least one product will have been created.
HACCP awareness training: This training is for those involved in HACCP as part of their routine work. This one-day training programme introduces HACCP in the context of plastic bag and bin liner manufacture and the manufacturer’s own HACCP plans. This training aims to provide HACCP awareness essential to successful HACCP implementation.
We can also offer bespoke in-house workshops supporting HACCP refresher training and HACCP auditor training.
Delivery Options
We offer flexible delivery to suit operational needs, including on-site HACCP developer training anywhere in the UK and live online training sessions.
