AFME-FSC-01 Engineering BRCGS Audit Readiness Pack

A walk-round checklist, evidence list and non-conformance tracker so the engineering department is ready for a BRCGS Food Safety audit, announced or unannounced. Engineering features in more BRCGS non-conformities than most departments realise: building fabric, equipment condition, temporary repairs, maintenance hygiene, calibration and foreign-body control all sit with engineering. This pack gives the team a structured way to check readiness, gather the evidence an auditor will ask for, and track gaps to close-out.
