In our facility we have a huge "dishwasher" that our baskets go through (we are a bakery). We are in need of more storage for ingredient bins after they've been washed. Would it be acceptable to create a shelf over the dishwasher? If so, is there a certain requirement for how far above the top of the dishwasher the shelf would have to be?

There isn't any steam or heat that comes out of the top, it more so comes out the end if there is any.

Ask yourself:

 

Is there a risk of re-contamination by storing them on top?
