Food

The Food industry is regulated by various standards to ensure customer protection. ISO 2200 requires organisations to document and control procedures to demonstrate compliance with statutory food safety requirements and their ability to control food safety hazards. Workbench’s Document Control, Audit and NCR modules can help companies demonstrate this.

21 CFR Part 11 refers to the US FDA (Food & Drug Administration) guidelines for trustworthy electronic records, which requires companies to employ procedures and controls designed to ensure the authenticity, integrity and, when appropriate, the confidentiality of electronic records.

From documented processes to electronic signatures, the guidelines for 21 CFR Pt 11 were laid down to provide a framework to ensure companies build their electronic systems in a compliant manner. Like many standards, it allows a certain flexibility in how your systems operate in order to comply as opposed to a step-by-step list of absolutes. This allows you to enhance or tighten existing systems in order to provide the level of compliance necessary without the need for a complete start from scratch.

Workbench software is configurable to allow electronic signatures to be necessary at every significant stage of approval and action. Moreover, it is completely traceable thanks to the systems' exceptional history and audit trails that record who did what and when at every key stage.Information is stored in our secure database structure ensuring complete control over access to that information.Workbench has the ability to:
