Container Loading Check (CLC) During a Container Loading Check, your inspector will select boxes at random to confirm each carton bears the quantity of product ordered, the quality matches the specifications and/or approved sample provided by you, and that all packaging material contains the correct barcodes, labeling, and packing materials. The entire container loading process is strictly supervised; ensuring all products paid for makes it on the truck. A CLC reduces the risk of damage during shipment.

For all inspections, CIL uses the standard internationally recognized ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003 (ISO 2859-1:1999) statistical sampling procedure. These comprehensive criteria cover functionality, performance, durability, overall appearance, and dimension. Inspection certificates are issued if stipulated in the letter of credit.   Benefit from a Quality Loading Inspection   The main benefit is getting your product safely to market without structural or regulatory hiccups. It is as if your eyes in the supply chain extend to all loading, transit, and customs concerns.   Looking Ahead Beyond the obvious concerns for product safety, an additional benefit to container loading inspection is environmental protection. According to a U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) article, "A Floating Threat," a more hidden, yet greater threat to the environment than oil spills, is the spread of invasive flora and fauna from country to country through container shipping. Customs inspections have become so sensitive to the implications of a potential crate infestation that the mere trace of an insect could cause your entire payload to be sent back at your expense. According to the article, some countries, such as New Zealand, "have enforced a state-of-the-art biosecurity and container hygiene system in its bid to keep invasive species out." 

The ecologically sensitive country has created an economic incentive of fewer inspections upon arrival for companies who comply with their standards. As a result, "Container contamination rates were higher than 50 percent before this system was adopted a decade ago, and have since dropped by 90 percent." Through globalized commerce, a fuller environmental picture is emerging, and it is a picture that all importers and exporters will need to face if they want to help protect the planet and remain viable in their industries.

During Production Inspection

During Production Inspection (DPI) or otherwise known as DUPRO, is a quality control inspection conducted while production is underway, and is especially good for products that are in continuous production, that have strict requirements for on-time shipments, and as a follow-up when quality issues are found prior to manufacturing during a pre-production inspection.

These quality control inspections are conducted during production when only 10-15% of units are completed. During this inspection, we will identify deviations and give feedback on corrective measures. In addition, we will re-check defects during the pre-shipment inspection to confirm they have been corrected.

At each stage of the production process, our inspectors will produce a full and detailed inspection report, together with supporting pictures to provide you with a comprehensive overview, giving you all the information and data you need.

The Benefits of a During-Production Inspection Better Quality Control In During Product Inspection, the products are inspected thoroughly. They get inspected for any faults or errors and it is made sure that the faulty products are sent back for correction. You get more control over the quality of your products and you no longer have to rely on any chances. Reduction in Losses Through During Product Inspection, you will be ensuring that you correct every faulty product present in your manufactured batches. It will enable you to keep a check on the quality of products you release and reduce the chances of the release of faulty products. Enhanced Brand Reputation When you inspect every product you manufacture, you ensure that you only produce perfect products. This means you don’t release defective pieces. Scope to Correct DPI is done when the product is at 40%-50% of its manufacturing process. If a fault is spotted at this stage, it can easily be corrected. Strengthened Production Chain DPI doesn’t hinder the manufacturing process. It strengthens it. The in-process inspection lets you avoid the production of defective pieces. You only produce quality products with the help of this method.

Pollution now is an inevitable consequence of modern industrial technology,  rapid and convenient transport, and comfortable housing. But excessive pollution may interfere with man’s health and his mental,  social and economic wellbeing. Governments, all over the world,  have formulated laws and regulations to correct and cure past violations of good environmental practices. This act gave rise to Environmental Audit.

An environmental Audit is a type of evaluation intended to identify a company's environmental compliance against set standards and principles. In other words, it is an excellent means of identifying a company's environmental risks and liabilities ensuring legal compliance, and enhancing informed decision-making.

Environmental Auditing is basically an environmental management tool for measuring the effects of certain activities on the environment based on set rules and regulations.

Environmental Auditing has helped confirm to stakeholders that an organization is exercising effective environmental management and is genuinely pursuing a positive environmental agenda.

But then, why should environmental auditing be carried out? It is done when development is already in place and is used to check on existing practices, assessing the environmental effect of such activities. The benefits of Environmental Auditing cannot be over-emphasized.

It helps inform stakeholders and decision-makers on environment management and performance.

To assess and identify environmental fire risks and known sources of fire liabilities and causes of casualties.

Identify loopholes in environmental fire management procedures, and elucidate their control and mitigation measures before they can lead to incidents.

Environmental auditing is an effective instrument for assessing the environmental safety standards of an organization.

Stages of Environmental Audit.

There are Five (5) phases of Environmental auditing. They include:

• Scheduling the Audit: The process of Environmental Auditing starts with the organization's Environmental Management Representative (EMR), scheduling the audit at an appropriate risk-based frequency. When doing this, the Emergency Management Representative coordinates the timing to minimize disruptions to project operations. They also need to record the audit in each Environmental Management Plan (EMP) using the appropriate template from their Environmental Management Systems (EMS) manual.
• Planning the Audit: The next step is for the Environmental Management Representative, to establish and document the area to be audited, the reason and scope of auditing, and the contact names for the area. The EMR must also appoint a qualified lead Auditor or audit member if need be.
• Conducting the Audit: Here, all the relevant personnel in the Audit team, meet to discuss the scope of the audit, the proposed audit agenda, the audit objectives, any project personnel that needs to be contacted or interviewed, and a tentative time to hold the exit meeting.
• Developing The Audit Report: The Audit team has to prepare a report based on all the objective evidence collected during the audit. The report will be sent to the contractor. The final report must be distributed to the auditor, contractor, independent reviewer and environmental auditor, the state, and other relevant personnel.
• Audit Follow-up: The Environmental Management Representative follows up on closing out any remaining contract items by the contractor. It can be done separately and can be done whenever the next relevant audit takes place, depending on the finding significance.

 In conclusion, therefore, an Environmental audit is carried out to provide an indication to company management about how the environmental Organization system and equipment are performing. As a  result, the best  practicable means can  be  applied to  preserve air, water, soil, plant, and animal life from the adverse effect

CDG is an ISO 17020 accredited Inspection & Certification Body, authorized to execute Inspection of Industrial Production Processes, complex Constructions, as well as single Equipment, by highly experienced staff, as an independent Third-Party Organization, according to the requirements of applicable Brand, National or International Standards.

Our purpose is to help you expand your core competencies. First Article Inspections take a lot of time and effort to complete, and they can quickly slow down your quality dept's workflow. Using our solution helps your quality crew to retain their present productivity for current manufacturing demands while also meeting your clients' needs to verify that your product is in conformity with the print.

A First Article Inspection is a part of the production process used to verify to the design owners (internal design engineers or external customers) that the components and assemblies that are manufactured are initially correct to the print. If a design change occurs, tool change or repair happens, a new supplier is added or a sufficiently long lapse in production of that component occurs, then a new First Article Inspection should happen to verify that the tooling and process continue to have the ability to meet the specification requirements. Additional inspections may be required after an FAI through the life of the product to ensure product control. The FAI helps document and assure that the components satisfy the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) requirements.

We conduct FAIs continually and are set up to provide this type of service. Programming new inspections are one of the most time-consuming measurement activities for a quality organization. We have developed a high level of proficiency in interpreting complex print requirements and providing these dimensional measurement inspection results in an efficient manner.

Additional Benefits

Modern scanning inspection equipment has the added benefit of being able to compare part change over time and thereby can give an indication of tool wear. This is done by comparing original scan data to new scan data in a ‘scan to scan’ comparison color map. Since internal quality organizations are often called upon to help troubleshoot manufacturing issues, a scan-to-scan comparison can be a useful tool.

CDG Solutions is an accredited 3rd party provider of First Article Inspections. We are ISO17025 certified to provide FAI dimensional measurement inspection services. We employ a wide range of contact and non-contact metrology equipment for this purpose.

Our goal is to augment your internal capabilities and capacities. First Article Inspections demand a large number of resources to conduct and can easily bog down the throughput of your quality department. Using our service allows your quality staff to maintain their current throughput for existing production requirements while satisfying your customers’ needs to validate compliance with your product to the print.

 Food Safety and Inspection Service.

The Food Safety and Inspection Services (FSIS) continues to sample retail outlets and analyses epidemiological data and, as a result of their findings, there are recommendations for verification sampling of production facilities, hygiene training focused on sanitation, refrigeration, and safe handling of unpreserved products and the inclusion of anti-listeria agents in products.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is the public health service under the USDA. One of many important areas of FSIS's responsibilities is its labeling guidance, policies, and inspection methods that will ensure that all labels are truthful and not misleading.

FSIS laid out three options for manufacturers and stated that the level of scrutiny FSIS would apply (through verification) would be driven by the option selected, with firms that relied solely on sanitation being subject to the most stringent verification requirements. As stated in the rule, “the alternatives that establishments will have to select from are:

•Alternative 1 – Employ BOTH a post lethality treatment AND a growth inhibitor for Listeria on RTE products. Establishments opting for this alternative will be subject to FSIS verification activity that focuses on post-lethality treatment effectiveness. Sanitation is important but is built into the degree of lethality necessary for safety as delivered by the post-lethality treatment.

•Alternative 2 – Employ EITHER a post lethality treatment OR a growth inhibitor for Listeria on RTE products. Establishments opting for this alternative will be subject to more frequent FSIS verification activity than Alternative 1.

•Alternative 3 – Employ sanitation measures only. Establishments opting for this alternative will be targeted with the most frequent level of FSIS verification activity. Within this alternative, FSIS will place increased scrutiny on operations that produce hotdogs and deli meats. In a 2001 risk ranking, FSIS and the Food and Drug Administration identified these products as posing a relatively high risk for illness and death.

Vendor Inspection Services

1. Early Cost Estimate

The estimated cost of an inspection will be provided before the source or vendor inspection commences, based on the purchase order, equipment specifications, and fabrication schedule.

2. Order Review

Specifications are reviewed and if required any clarifications are made with the Client. The extent of inspection required is established, e.g. final, partial or complete. Cost savings can be considered by the determination of what should and should not be inspected. In some cases, no inspection may be recommended; in others, past experience with the vendor or commodity may indicate a need to vary standard inspection procedures.

3. Assignment / Cost Estimate

When an assignment order is received, individual inspectors with appropriate technical capability and experience are identified and the estimated overall costs are established.

4. Vendor Engagement

Pre-inspection Meetings, Before work begins, it is important for all parties to have a clear understanding that the vendor is responsible for quality control and to describe the role that the CDG  Inspector will play, and what specifications & procedures will be followed. This may vary from a telephone discussion to a pre-inspection meeting attended by representatives from the Client, CDG, the engineering contractor, and other involved parties.

Source Inspection Visits, Inspection is carried out during visits to the vendor’s premises to monitor QC activities, witness specified tests, etc. Visits will be arranged so as not to interfere with production schedules.

5. Cost Control

A very important element of the process is cost control. CDG will ensure that the magnitude of the inspection effort and the cost are consistent with the order requirements and the cost estimate. Periodic status reports on inspection costs can be provided to the Client if requested.

6. Release Notice / Rejection Notices

Each inspection visit will usually result in either a Release Notice – indicating satisfaction so far or a Rejection Notice – indicating dissatisfaction. On progressive inspections a Release Notice releases everything fabricated up to that stage.  After the final inspection, the order is released.

7. Final Report

Following shipment of the items involved, a report detailing the inspection and giving results of any specified tests or quality variations is issued. Copies of test data will be attached.

8. Inspection Reporting

At the Client’s request, CDG will provide order inspection reporting in addition to inspection. An inspection report summarizes the actual status of engineering and drawings, material availability, fabrication, and the current promised completion date.

9. Inspection Invoice Verification and Payment

CDG invoices are verified with respect to hours charged and level of expenses. The Client will receive an invoice once a month which considerably simplifies the process. Invoicing details can be adjusted to meet the Client’s needs.

What does workplace inspection mean?

A workplace inspection is a process of critically examining the workplace for the identification and mitigation of workplace hazards and to ensure that all standards and procedures are met and the workplace is safe and free from any risks

Workplace inspections are an ongoing process that plays an important role in actively monitoring an organization's safety adherence and compliance to safe work practices

why workplace inspections are important

Workplace inspections help prevent incidents, injuries, and illnesses through a critical examination of the workplace. Inspections help to identify and record hazards for corrective action. 

Health and safety management and safety committees can help plan, conduct, report, and monitor site safety inspections

Regular workplace inspections are an important part of the overall occupational health and safety program and management system if it is present

Let us discuss in detail what involves and includes in a workplace safety inspection

The inspection process involves various people such as health and safety specialists, safety practitioners, managers, supervisors, and members of the health and safety management committees

Depending upon the type and frequency of inspection, the inspection process mainly focuses on four key areas:

Number one: people, workers, their behavior, and matters

Number two: plants, machinery equipment, and vehicles

Number three: premises, the workplace itself, and the working environment

And number four: procedures, the methodologies, safe systems of work and permit to work system, etc.

These are the four key elements that the safety inspectors will mainly focus on here. The most important question is what will be the frequency of site safety inspections?

The frequency of inspections depends upon the nature of work being done, the materials, substances, and equipment involved in the work process, and the procedures being followed

Depending on these factors, inspections may be carried out daily, weekly, monthly, by annually

What is the purpose of a site safety inspection?

Safety inspections are a very important element of the health and safety management system

Number one: listen to the concerns of workers and their supervisors 

Number two: gain further understanding of jobs and tasks at the site

Number three: identify existing and potential hazards

Number four: determine underlying causes of hazards

Number five: recommend corrective action

And number six: monitor steps are taken to eliminate hazards, and control the risk for example engineering controls administrative controls, policies procedures, personal protective equipment, etc.

Without frequent site safety inspections, you will not be able to gain access to such vital points which are directly linked with the progress of the organization

Another important question, how do you plan for site safety inspections?

Planning is essential for any task, for any activity if you like to make it effective and successful

What to examine?

Once you are at the site and you are conducting a site safety inspection, every safety inspection must examine who, what, where, when, and how. Pay particular attention to items that are most likely to develop into unsafe or unhealthy conditions because of stress, fear impact vibration, heat, chemical reaction

Other issues include areas where no work is done, regularly such as parking lots, rest areas of storage areas, and locker rooms

All these areas, all these activities, you must examine once you are in the process of site safety inspection. Furthermore, you will look at all workplace elements, the people, the environment, the equipment, and the process

The environment includes such hazards as noise, vibration, lighting, temperature, and ventilation

Equipment includes materials, tools, and operators for producing a product or a service

The process involves how the worker interacts with other elements in a series of tasks of operations.
