BQCIS — Risk & Safety Controls
|
In consumer product inspections, health, safety, and sample integrity are paramount.
BQCIS enforces rigorous controls across factories, laboratories, and retail environments
to ensure both inspector safety and product reliability.
Our frameworks combine international safety standards with on-the-ground risk prevention to
guarantee defensible results.
HSSE Protocols
- Strict compliance with ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management.
- Mandatory PPE for all inspectors: respiratory protection, antistatic gear, confined-space equipment.
- Gas testing, fire safety drills, and permits-to-work enforced before inspection begins.
- Continuous safety training and HSSE certifications for BQCIS staff.
Contamination Prevention
- Dedicated sampling lines and flushing procedures between tests.
- Sealed, single-use sampling tools for food-contact and cosmetic inspections.
- Interface detection technology to prevent cross-contamination in bulk liquids.
- Procedures aligned with ASTM and EU consumer safety directives.
Sample Integrity
- Tamper-proof, custody-sealed containers used for all retained samples.
- Refrigerated storage for perishable or temperature-sensitive products.
- Custody logging procedures ensuring full traceability of each sample.
- Defensible in arbitration under GAFTA or WTO disputes.
Standards Alignment
- Aligned with ISO 45001 safety systems.
- Integration of NFPA fire codes in warehouse inspections.
- Global acceptance by regulators, trade bodies, and insurers.
- Supports client ESG compliance and sustainability goals.
Case Example: Preventing Cross-Contamination in a Cosmetics Factory
During an inspection of a multi-line cosmetics facility, BQCIS identified potential cross-contamination
risks between production lines handling lipsticks and eye shadow. By enforcing strict line flushing,
sealed sampling, and custody-logging protocols, contamination risks were eliminated.
Reports were accepted by EU regulators and products cleared for export without delay.
