This needle control policy outlines procedures for managing sewing needles to ensure safety and accountability. It specifies that only needles needed for current work are kept at machines, with spare needles locked away and accessed only by authorized personnel. Worn needles are collected and replaced by authorized staff, then disposed of sealed containers, with numbers recorded. Broken needles require stopping work, finding all pieces which are taped to records, and clearing the area with a metal detector before replacing the needle and resuming work.
