A. Looks like a couple of places I had the unfortunate luck to audit years ago.
B. Looks like one of our former client facilities - I say former, because they did not listen - and now they are out of business.

I like your optimism (despite no positives in this picture). The other amusing thing is they are keeping a track of their "profits ONLY" , without giving any interest on GMPs or other Food Safety procedures.
Thanks for sharing Simon.

I wouldn't like to audit such a faclity!
however, i would have picked the following issues:-
The employees walk in and out of toilet with PPEs (overall.
Waste management is wanting as evidenced by overflowing dustbins.
Workers sitting on work pieces.
Workers having refreshment and smoking in the factory.
Work pieces being rolled on the floor.
Toilet facities open to the production area.
Pest control is an issue .Rats seen under the cabinet.
Employees allowed to wear necklaces and earrings in production area.
Employee seen trying to lubricate a fan he cant reach easily with a ladder not secured for safety.
Generally no GMPs in this facility.
