Receiving Dock in Close Proximity to Garbage Compactor Chute
Hi All,
Just wanted to get everyone's opinions on having a receiving dock being connected to a garbage compactor chute. We have a double garage door "air lock" for the receiving dock, but on the right hand side of the air lock dock wall is the chute for the garbage compactor. The compactor chute has a door to close it when not in use.
Thoughts?
It's fine...you just need to ensure you have a proper procedure for
sanitation of the compactor area including both sides of door
employees trained to ensure area is always tidy and door closed when not in use
door is checked to be closed prior to receiving anything
FYI more facilities than not will be designed this way
