Never use material or product that is either unlabelled or not correctly
labeled. If a label is missing, it generally means the stock should not be used.

Preventing mix-ups in the warehouse

In a busy warehouse, there is daily movement of starting materials into the

warehouse, daily pickups from production, regular storage of in-process bulk
goods, incoming finished products, and release of finished stock to distributors.
Space is often limited, and many warehouses can become overcrowded.

During all this movement of stock, staff have to maintain records, and sometimes
apply labels to indicate status.

As there are opportunities for mix-ups to occur on an almost daily basis, so too

are there GWP rules that help prevent these from happening:

Quarantine inward goods and finished goods until they are approved for
release.

Segregate material by their status labels (e.g., there should be only released

labeled stock in the released store).

Ensure that Unique Identifying Numbers and batch numbers are clearly
visible and legible.

Wherever possible, ensure that only one type of material is stored in one
location. (Note: Different companies may have different views on this.)

Why have material and product segregation?

One of the keys to ensuring that only the correct materials or products are
released is to practice good physical segregation and/or validated electronic
segregation. In the case of defective and recalled goods, it is essential to have
both physical and electronic segregation.
