Are knife sharpeners allowed in the production hall?
Hello, I would like to know if knife sharpers are allowed in the production hall? The production employees want to retain knife sharpeners which makes it easier for them to sharpen their knifes whenever necessary. On what conditions can we allow the knife sharpeners to be retained by the employees. Thank you in advance. Kavya
Every slaughterhouse I have worked in has knife sharpeners either on belts the employees wear or they are fixed to the equipment. But these locations also have hot water knife sanitizers.
A dull knife is a dangerous one so you should make this process as easy as possible for them
