Does anyone have a simple Supplier Audit Questionnaire designed specifically for a Laundry? Meaning a laundry that provides a service for cleaning food workers clothing.
If not can anyone provide a list of maybe the top 10 questions you should ask so that I can compile one for myself.
Thanks,
Simon

1- Audit Checklist should be based on PDCA and Process approaches to have a better grip on the objectives of Audit. For example lets take following point:
How do you ensure washed clothes do not get contaminated after wash.
P: Check planned arrangement, procedures, work instructions etc. for keeping dirty, washed(wet) and dried clothes SEPARATE to prevent cross-
contamination.
D: Observe actual practices as per planned arrangements and documents.
C: Check monitoring and verification records related to above activities.
A: Find and suggest any opportunity for improvement or need for corrective or preventive action.
2- IMO, some additional checkpoints based on the requirements of BRC Food Standard may be:
- Having defined and verified criteria to validate the effectiveness of the laundering process. (an open question as compared to direct question
related to micro test).
- Having any auditing, certification or approval status by any third party or government authority.
- Having cleaned, organized and hygienic environment.
- Regular monitoring of effectiveness of cleaning.
- Development of procedures and standardization of practices based on risk assessment for example, separation and special treatment of clothing of
high risk areas.
Hope this would help:
