Is it a necessity by SQF rules for production staff to have separate individual lockers to hang their set of clean  uniforms if they are in fact issued with clean uniforms from a group rack before each shift? If they are on a group rack, how do you stop the issue of contamination?  Where would you store them?  Would it have to be a separate room?

 

Thanks in advance,

AANNFF

Separate lockers to those for personal items should be used for clean uniforms, they don't need to be individual but should be segregated if there is a risk (e.g. low/high risk uniforms).

 

Racks are normally provided for storage when uniforms are removed on exiting production areas. Risks of contamination are controlled by segregation of areas (high/low risk) and protective clothing changes (such as when going from low to high risk).

 

Regards,

 

Tony

We have changed to different colors for high risk ( red for ready to eat ) low risk ( blue for low risk ) they are stored for use on physically seperated racks. We are in the process of applying for SQF and as I understand it this is acceptable
