Product safety


  It is absently true in fact that product safety products meet acceptable levels of safety and will not cause harm when used as intended which plays vital role. It has an array of amenities with couple of inconvenience.At the very outset customer also giving training on product safety as well as top factories also giving training to heir concern.
 Product safety in the UK is governed by a wide regulatory framework consisting of both national and European-derived legislation. The laws apply to any business involved in the import, manufacture and supply of goods to consumers.
If we want to business with UK & EU, We have to maintain minimum standard  of product safety requirement exemplified as EN-71,EN]14682.Otherwise they will not continue business with them.In this regards, We are following all types of rules & regulation of product safety as per customer standard as well as our internal standard. Before giving shipment of any goods, we must ensure some quality terms as save,legal & quality which is very much important for any producer. If the customer gets any kinds of nonlegal,unsafe product,they claim us huge amount of money/dollar.If we get any kinds of claim , we have to follow customer withdrawal & recalled procedure.If we follow this statement we will be benefited a lot.





REQUIREMENTS FOR SHARP TOOLS & NEEDLE REPLACEMENT POLICY AND METAL CONTAMINATION



Babylon Group have a written policies that are clearly communicated, understood, implemented, displayed in the relevant language and kept up for the following:

A.    Sharp Tools
B.     Needle Replacement
C.     Metal Detection
D.    Glass and Hard Plastic Breakages

PREVENTION OF METAL AND OTHER SHARP OBJECTS CONTAMINATION:

Babylon Group is fully responsible to ensure that effective measures are in place to prevent any metal contamination such as:

-                                                       Needle parts
-          Machine sewing needles
-          Hand sewing needles
-          Tag gun needles
-          Staples
-          Pins
-          Gimlet
-          stray clippers
-          Scissors
-          Cutters
-          Knife
-          Vertical Knife
-          Handy cutter
-          Bundling wire
-          Mechanic tools such as screwdrivers, hammers etc.
-          Broken glass
-          prong snaps
-          rivets
-          Hardware from machinery, such as nuts, bolts, screws etc.
-          personal effects or jewellery parts

If any of the above are found in a garment, they can cause serious injury or a potential hazard to the ultimate customer, result in customer complaints as well as a possible serious fine, which can amount to thousands of money.





Prevention – means taking all reasonable steps to avoid any metal contamination in the first place.

This includes:

-          In sample room and any manufacturing operation pins and wires are not being used. This includes securing, bundling, tacking components or packing of any products.
-          No pins may be used for bulletin/notice boards in the sewing plant.
-          In cases where metal components need to be to be used such as check fabric laying, the control of the use is ensured maintaining record.
-          Scissors/clippers and any other sharp tools is securely fastened to the sewing machines and inspection tables/workstations.
-          It is ensured that the production plant is free of dangerous items such as broken glass, splinters etc., since these cannot be detected by the needle detection unit.
-          Maintaining a metal free environment.
-          To avoid stray metal and other components, small components (such as loose poppers, studs, rivets, zips etc.) are kept in appropriate containers.
-          Workers and mechanics are complying with the policy and products are being removed from an area if risk of contamination exists.
-          Any goods entering the factory are ensured as contaminant-free. It is therefore ensuring that the policy is passed up the supply chain to other suppliers. Trims and components are often secured with pins and suppliers of those raw materials are being asked to use an alternative such as tape.
-          Check that bulk trims ‘pass’ through the metal detector prior to use in production.
-          Any packaging is removing from outer packaging outside production areas to eliminate risks of product contamination.

As part of the monitoring process, the following questions are being asked periodically:

1.      The number of needles purchased?
2.      The number of needles distributed?
3.      The number of worn needles returned?
4.      The number of broken needles returned?
5.      The number of needle fragments found by the detector?
6.      The number of missing needle fragments?
7.      Number of needle ‘incidents’ or claims

The figures 2, 3, and 4 above should sum to be the same as in 1, and the answer to questions 6 and 7 would be zero!


Detection – means to put additional checks in place to ensure the products are safe when shipped.

This includes:
-          At final inspection garments are being turned inside out and pockets checked to avoid any loose components being trapped in them.
-          We require metal detection for all our products and it is mandatory for all children’s or kids wear orders, any nightwear, underwear or lingerie.


SHARP TOOLS POLICY

Examples of sharp tools are:
Scissors, Clippers, Kimball/Tag guns, Knives, Drill hole spikes, Notch punchers, Tweezers, Cutting pins (if used on stripes, plaids and checks).

1.    Control of sharp tools

The use of pins, staples, sharp tools and other metal products is restricted in use in the factory.


All sharp tools are accounted for and issuing to the workforce by store officer with a cross reference to stock levels of that particular tool to ensure full traceability at all times.

1■        Factory is  following A ‘One in, one out’ distribution system  to minimize the loss of tools, potential injury to employee’s and the risk of tools being boxed in cartons and shipped and or lost in product presentation boxes and or pockets or lining of product.

2■        all sharp tools are handing out to the workers by a nominated person (store officer) at the beginning of each shift and are collecting at the end of each shift. Counting and signed for by the store officer.

3■        Kimball/Tag guns are individually numbered and named per worker.

4■        this distribution system is being recorded (s. attached daily in/out log); detailing workers names, their signature and numbers of tool issued/returned and records are keeping for a minimum of 03 years for verification.

5■        all tools are being securely attached to the workstation (machines, tables, benches and inspection areas) by cord or string as possible to tool type, but holes are being drilled through wooden handles and location and condition is being verified daily.

6■        Scissors and clippers are not being worn around the neck or wrist as this is a safety hazard for the employee’s in case they trip and injure themselves.

7■        we are following a documented control system for the issuing and collecting of scissors and clippers.

8■        the employees will not remove their tools at break, lunch or dinner times in order to avoid them becoming lost or leaving the factory premises.

9■        the floor supervisors are checking  at least twice a day that they have not been removed without permission and keep a record of how many pairs have been issued, as per the count in/out log process.

10■      any blades or other sharp cutting tools are using within the factory floor maintaining proper sharp tools control policy. Snap blades are not permitted as they can break easily, cause injury and get lost in product, packaging and or cartons.

11■      Metal is not using as sewing guides and or templates for pressing around to manage a shape, e.g. pockets. If guides are required thick card and or plastic is using. Cut thin metal can cause injury, split and break off into a small piece and become lost in product, packaging and or cartons, which may damage a product: or injure employees at our customer’s warehouse, stores or a customer.

           
12■      the use of pins is not acceptable in any products of Babylon Group and it is being avoided throughout the factory (incl. sample room, cutting, sewing, inspection, metal free zone, packaging or any other areas where garments/components are being handled).
           
13■      where pins are being using in packaging for meet up the requirement of a customer this is done in a separate area quarantined from any other production and the issue of pins is being controlled.

14■      Pins/staples are not being using to assemble cartons.


15■      the use of staples and staplers is being avoided in the factory environment. This     includes incoming goods area, cutting room, sample room, metal free zone, and   packing and is not being using on any paperwork used on the factory floor.

16■      threading wires are kept by the mechanic and if they are needed by the worker again they are kept in a controlled environment and counted in and out at the beginning and end of a working day by a nominated person.

17■      Machinists is not being allowed to keep screw drivers or any other tool for altering machine settings in their machine draws, its are  being kept at all times by the mechanic and or supervisor in charge authorized to amend machine settings.

18■      Tools collected at the end of the day and spare parts (e.g. cutting blades) are always being  kept away from the factory floor in a safe and secure environment, i.e. locked away in designated cupboards which only the store officer has access to. The record log of tool/spare part issue is being kept in the designated cup board.

19■      the management is ensuring this policy applied to embroidery, appliqué, printing etc. operations whether in house or at another site.


A.                NEEDLE REPLACEMENT POLICY

All needles or parts of damaged/broken needles are controlled effectively and accounted for during the production process and throughout the whole manufacturing unit.
This means that when a new needle is issued it is cross referenced with stock levels of the particular needle and size to ensure full traceability at all times.
This includes sewing needles (machine and hand sewing), and any ticketing or kimbal/tag gun needles and the policy is covering all areas of manufacturing e.g. the sample room, embroidery and appliqué machines, machines that are positioned out of the main flow of manufacture and operations that are performed outside the factory  premises of Babylon Group.
The sample room is keeping a separate needle record, rather than having the record amalgamated with the production area.
All records are keeping away from the production floor to avoid contamination. Old records are being destroyed safely and off the factory premises.
For guidelines on how long to keep certain records please see individual sections below.

1. Control of needle supplies

          a person is nominated to hold a restricted supply of a pre-determined number of needles in a permanently locked & clearly marked facility. This facility is only be accessed by the nominated person responsible for managing the total process.

          Replacement is only be issued if the store officer returns the equivalent number of used needles to the relevant manager/section (e.g. store).

       stock of needles is being controlled by a designated member of the management (e.g. production manager, warehouse manager etc.). The good needle releasing quantity is fully traceable according to the ‘One in/one out’ policy in the sewing workshop, i.e. needle stock match needle balance record.

          Spare needles are being stored in a secure and locked position away from the production floor.

          There is a recorded needle inventory, so that the amount of needles coming into the factory is accounted for with the records kept for needle distribution and broken needle records.

2. Control of sewing needles in use

          Workers are not being allowed to have any spare needles in their possession.

          A person nominated as safety officer e.g. responsible for health & safety and internal auditing is checking compliance to this policy on a regular basis by carrying out audits and random checks.

          New needles are being distributed by a store officer. 

          The nominated person to exchange needles, is ensuring that they receive all parts of the old needle before issuing a new one. A new needle can only be issued if all parts of the old one have been returned.

          New needles are keeping in a secure, locked, clearly marked and safe environment with restricted access. The key to the storage place is held by the authorized person at all times and are not being available to machine operators.

          The needle record is kept for all types of needles and are include the bend or broken needle fragments taped to the record.

          To identify trends of breakage the broken needle record is reviewed on a daily basis which will lead the factory to be proactive in preventing excessive
Needle breakage. Worn out, out of alignment machine parts or operator handling may cause breakage.

3. Change of a needle during production

          To avoid needle breakage, damaged or worn points, needles & their points is being checked on a daily basis. The checks and any needle changes are recorded mentioning the needle ref. that needle got exchanged.

          Whenever the nature of the fabric, the operation or type of needle changes, needles are changed according to needle size and point required.

          Machines including their needles are checked on a daily basis in the morning prior to work commencing by the worker.
            Any damage to the needles and changes are recorded on a Replacement Needle Record.

          If any inline or final QC inspectors find any needle damage, the relevant machine is checked immediately and needles changed.

          All broken or bent needles are securely attached to the needle replacement form with a clear adhesive tape and all parts need to be accounted for. Store officer is responsible for the record keeping.

          Any old/blunt needles are collected by the mechanic/s, recorded, kept in a sealed container in a separate area from the sewing floor and sent externally for recycling.

          Broken needle/calibration records is keeping for a minimum of 06 years from shipment date for auditing purposes and disposed off safely thereafter.
            At no times are records being stored near the factory floor as this can be cause possible contamination.

          A broken or damaged needle are being always be replaced with a brand new needle and all parts of the old one is accounted for. So the exchange is on a one for one basis.

          Mechanics are ensuring that no needles are left behind on the machines after any maintenance work carried out.

          Unused/spare machines are having the needles removed.











4. Requirements for broken needle control

          When a needle breaks the worker call the line supervisor for the process and find all fragments of the broken needle and handover them to the store officer.

          the needle or needle pieces are being placed in a small sealed container, in order to           reduce risk of         loss and taken to the needle control area where the new needles are             being issued.

          ideally this is a small self contained sub store on the production floor                      one full time employee situated inside, who only has access.

          Store officer is  keeping the needle log is check that all pieces have been submitted, by aligning the pieces and comparing them to an intact needle of the  sample chart with the following columns:
           
          All pieces of the broken/bent needle are then be taped to the needle replacement    form by sticky tape ensuring that all parts are securely kept in place. Broken needles     are not be disposed of in any other manner.

          This record are kept for a minimum of 06 years as proof of due diligence in case   of any legal claims.

          If any parts of the broken needle cannot be found, the machine operator  with the supervisor present search the area around the machine, including looking in the oil bed inside the machine throat plate, feed dogs and bobbin case.
            The bundles that the worker was working on as well as any bundles in surrounding areas of the workstation (within 2 metres) is being isolated, moved to a separate location in a  wooden container  clearly labeled and checked with a metal detector (conveyor belt).

          Any found fragments are being added to the needle replacement form.

          If any parts of the broken needle still cannot be found, then these bundles are placed in a locked container and later on destroyed after authorization has been obtained by the production or factory manager.
            Records of the complete procedure are being kept for a minimum of 06 years after production to be available for auditing purposes.

          Under NO circumstances the product being returned to stock.

          If all parts have been found the components/garments are being returned to the workstation.

          Only once the needle replacement form has been fully completed the machinist is being issued with a new needle.











6. Kimbal/Tag gun needle control policy



            All needles are being accounted for in each factory of Babylon Group: this means when a new needle is issued it cross references with stock levels of the particular needle and size is ensuring full traceability at all times.




          Kimbal/tag gun needles are holding by the nominated person in a locked cupboard, which is only accessible by the person responsible for issuing new needles.

          ‘One in, one out’ distribution system - All kimbal/tag guns are being handed out to the workers by a nominated person at the beginning of each shift and are being collected at the end of each shift.

          This distribution system is being recorded (s. attached daily in/out log), detailing workers names and numbers of kimbal/tag guns issued/returned and records are being kept for a minimum of 3 years from shipment date in case of a legal claim.

          The number of workers with access to kimbal/tag guns are limited.

          All kimbal/tag guns are being kept on cord secured to the workstation table.

          The procedure as well as record keeping for any broken/bend/lost kimbal/tag gun needles is the same as described above for machine sewing needles.

          Kimbal/ Tag gun logs as well as kimbal/tag gun needle control logs are fully completed each time before a new needle is issued and records are being kept for 03 year as proof of due diligence in case they are required for any legal claims.

          Product are not being kimballed in the metal free zone, after passing through the tunnel conveyor belt detector.

















C. METAL DETECTION

Babylon Group is doing all products to be checked 100% with a metal detector prior to shipment after all manufacturing operations have been completed. This check is being carried out after the final examination and packaging of the garment (incl. attachment of swing tickets) but before packing/boxing the goods in the metal free zone and are being the part of the final quality control procedure.


Metal detectors are an aid to prevent metal contamination and are the best way to ensure that needle control procedures are effective, but are not to being used to replace an effective needle replacement policy. Metal detection are being implemented within the production process and used in conjunction with the broken needle procedure.



1.    Calibration procedure:

          Machines are being calibrated every working day with this test card, at the beginning and at the end of each inspection lot, as well as when the machine is started up, then every hour and at the end of a working day as well as after any electricity cuts.
            If an issue is found with the machine at the next calibration, the goods that were done since the last successful calibration need re-checking, so the smaller the gap between calibrations checks the smaller the quantity of goods that are being re-checked.

         If the machine is to be found out of order after a check, it is being arranged for urgent repair and a replacement to cover for the time the machine will be out of order. This is being done through a static metal detector. It is being ensured though, that no orders leave the factory, that is not been checked, especially in case of children swears.

          The following procedure are being adhered to when checking the machine.

            Please see below diagram for the width across the belt of the metal detector and where the test card should sit when tested at the bottom, center and top position:


                                       CROSS SECTION TUNNEL NEEDLE DETECTOR



A7                                                       A8                                                            A9                                                           
 
 
            TOP   

A4                        A5                        A6

 
           
CENTRE      

A1                        A2                        A3

 
           
BOTTOM     




            Calibration procedure:
           
1.      Switch on the machine and set the sensitivity level to less than 1.2mm sphere.
2.      Position the test card directly onto the conveyor belt at position A1.
3.      Let the card pass through the search head.
4.      The metal detector is being activated and the alarm is sound.
5.      Repeat the above steps 1-3 with the test card in positions A2 and A3.
Again the detector is being activated and the alarm is sound.

The test card is putting through on its own, we are not put it on a paper or put it through with a garment.

6.      Repeat steps 1-3 with the test card positioned in the middle of a stand (7-8cm high) or on top of a stand that is around 3-4cm high (depending on the height of the gap between conveyor belt and top of machine) at positions A4, A5, A6.
Again the metal detector is being activated and the alarm is in sound.

The stand are being a non-detectable block made of plastic material.



7.      Repeat steps 1-3 with the test card on the top of a stand (7-8cm high or as high as the gap allows for) at positions A7, A8, A9 and again the metal detector are being activated and the alarm are in sound.
           
            Records are being kept of all of these checks by using the prescribe form.

          In case the machine fails to pass the calibration test, it is immediately being turned off and re-calibrated by an authorized technician. All goods checked after the last calibration is being re-checked once normal operations of the detector have been re-established.

          Machines are being calibrated at least every 6 months by the manufacturer.

          Calibration certificates are being obtained and being kept for auditing purposes.

          If for any reason the detector are being relocated, it is being re-calibrated by the supplier’s authorized technical service.

          Regular maintenance (at least annually) of the detector is being carried out by the supplier’s authorized technical service based on the periods set up by them. Records for maintenance and any re-calibration made by the supplier are being kept, in case these need to be provided during any audits.












2.    Metal detection:

          When performing the metal detection it is being ensured that products are placed on the moving conveyor belt one by one with sufficient space in between products, so that there is no overlap.

          If goods are being shipped e.g. on hangers that are ferrous and cannot be passed through the metal detector, the goods are being taken off the hanger, passed through the metal detector and then re-hung. It is permitted for the hangers to be moved through the metal via a door. This process are controlling by the authorized person and only the correct amount of hangers per order are to be held at any one time, no spare hangers to be stored.
           
          As a general guideline though garments be metal detected as last as possible in the production process and any ferrous metal items are being attached in the metal free zone, such as security tags, hangers etc.

          The metal free zone are not being used for general storage and are being tidy. Once           product is boxed or hung is to be taken to dispatch.

          In case of stone washing the garments are being metal checked prior to washing as the pumice dust contains small metal particles that have an adverse effect to metal detection.
           
          Any garments or part of a garment that are being outsourced for the application of a print, embroidery or any other process are being metal detected upon receipt back into the factory, prior to continuing production. This is to ensure that no whole or broken needle pieces, staples, other stray metals or sharp objects are in the returned pieces.

          The factory are making sure that procedures are in place to ensure that all garments including repaired and re-inspected do not go to packing without being checked by the detector.

          Clear separation and identification of the garments that are waiting to be checked and that are being checked to be strictly made.

          Records are being kept for all garments that are passing through the metal detector and are being completed as product passes through the machine to verify compliance with this requirement.

          If the alarm sounds, all garments on the halted conveyor belt are being put into a sealed bag, segregated and locked in a secure rejection box, to be located near the metal detector.

          The rejection bin are being taken to a clearly marked area and thoroughly checked for contamination by the assigned person.

          If the metal parts are found and the garment passes through the conveyor metal detector successfully, the garment can be returned to the bulk.
           
          If the metal part cannot be found, the contaminated product are being put into a polybag with details clearly marked on it and then placed inside the rejection bin (s. photo) locked away from the factory floor and THE GARMENT ARE BEING DESTROYED after authorized sign off by the  factory manager.
           


Under NO circumstances can it be returned to stock for shipment.

          If a product is metal detected in its packaging, remove the packaging and detect the product and packaging separately as some packaging can contain traces of metal, especially if recycled, e.g. card, therefore may prevent the product being rejected.

          The rejection bin are being locked with a designated person holding the key. The bin is having a slit at the top through which the garment can be passed through. The slit is being big enough to let the garment fit through, but small enough to avoid a hand fitting through it.

          Any action is being recorded accordingly and any found metal parts are being taped securely to the metal detection failure record by sticky tape confirming source of contaminant and action taken to prevent future contamination.


          Records of garment destruction are being kept for a minimum of 5 years for auditing purposes.

          After the tested products are packed in a carton, the carton are being marked with a stamp stating date and ‘tested’.

          Any products that are being returned from the storage area / warehouse to the sewing/finishing floor are being checked again with the metal detector and the cartons must be re-stamped with date and ‘tested’.

          In summary, records that are being kept to support the operation of the metal detector are:
                        - Calibration checks of metal detector
                        - Style number, date and time of products metal detected
                        - Contaminants detected and follow-up action taken
                       
            These records are being retained for 03 years after shipment in case of any legal claims.

          Furthermore Personnel Training Records are being kept, listing the responsible people who have received training in needle control and metal detection procedures.

          All records are fully completed at all times.
