5 Digital Forms for Food Processing Safety

The forms that will transform your food safety operations

Food safety inspections require a significant amount of documentation. Relying on paper forms for your inspections can cause errors in data collection. Administrative staff that is reliant on parsing through inaccurate and incomplete form fields can cause bottlenecks within business processes. These inefficiencies are not only time-consuming for your team, but can cost you a tremendous amount of money. Paper forms do not provide your team with real-time data which leads to a lack of oversight into your food processing operations. 

Digital forms are the solution that your food processing teams are looking for. With customizable form fields, you can easily create digital forms that look and feel exactly the same as your paper forms. GoFormz’s drag-and-drop form builder makes it easy for anyone on your team to build custom and dynamic online forms. 

You can create your own form from scratch, use one of GoFormz’s form templates, or upload an existing PDF into the form creator. Switching to paperless forms means that your team can save time on the data entry and collection process and streamline your food processing operations. 

From food safety checklist templates to inspection forms, GoFormz can give you valuable insight into your food manufacturing and safety. Read more below about improving food process flow and safety with these five forms:

Equipment Inspection form

Simplifying the equipment inspection process for your food manufacturing requires the ability to efficiently collect data from your team. Creating digital equipment inspection forms allows your team to quickly identify and escalate risks within your manufacturing processes. With mobile forms, your team can view and complete these forms from a tablet or smartphone. By adding in Image fields, you can have staff upload images of faulty equipment so that supervisors have the necessary documentation to act quickly on hazards within your factory.

HACCP forms

Maintaining compliance within your business means having a HACCP process that is free of hazards. Digital HACCP forms means that you can build robust and dynamic forms to gather all of the necessary insight into your operations to stay within regulations. By utilizing Checklist Groups within GoFormz, you can create a systematic approach to identifying biological, chemical, and physical hazards. Learn more about creating manufacturing Checklists. 

Temperature Checks

In addition to machinery compliance, you must be following safety procedures in regard to employee health. Temperature log forms can ensure that every day, your team is required to submit their temperature screening to supervisors. Using Timestamps guarantees that you can maintain these daily records by date and time, without the manual process of gathering this information from staff. 

Metal Detection

Avoiding recalls due to metal contamination is a high priority for food manufacturers. Doing consistent testing of machinery is critical to avoid these contaminations. By creating a streamlined process for testing with digital forms, you can gain insight into your operations and make adjustments, in real-time. Gathering form data that is easily digestible for your team means more insight into how things are running. With GoFormz Reports, you can run comprehensive reports as soon as the data is collected from the team. Long are the days of manual data entry and analysis! 

Safety Checklists

The safety of your staff is of utmost importance when running a food manufacturing organization. With safety checklists, you can create task lists for staff to make sure that they are following company, state, and federal protocol. By utilizing Automated Workflows within GoFormz, you eliminate the need for staff to manually hand in documents to their manager. This means, that as soon as your staff has completed a form, it can be routed to their supervisor for review. You can also add in Signatures for supervisors to sign off on completed tasks. This insight is invaluable to creating a system that stays within compliance and keeps your staff safe.

Digitizing your food safety and processing protocols will lead to more streamlined and efficient workflows. Not only will you save your team significant time, but, staying in compliance with federal and state regulations ensures that you reduce long-term risk and burdensome fines.
