Do Employees Lockers need Locks under SQF?

Hi All,

I was wondering if there was something in SQF that states that employee lockers must be locked. As far as I can tell, employers must provided employees with a locker for personal belongings but not a lock. Any insight into this matter?

Thanks in advance!

Nope. SQF Edition 7 Module 11 section 11.3.7 (Change Rooms) simply states:

11.3.7 Change Rooms

11.3.7.1 Facilities shall be provided to enable staff and visitors to change into and out of protective clothing as

required.

11.3.7.2 Change rooms shall be provided for staff engaged in the processing of high risk foods or processing

operations in which clothing can be soiled.

11.3.7.3 Provision shall be made for staff to store their street clothing and personal items separate from food

contact zones and food and packaging storage areas.

11.3.7.4 Where required, a sufficient number of showers shall be provided for use by staff.

Thanks for your input, Esquef. It's what I thought and am glad to have verification.
