Cleaning Equipment Colours
Hi All,
I know this has been asked several times, however, many factory areas don't appear to be mentioned in the colour schemes of previous forum messages. Could you please "copy and paste" the below and tell me what colour cleaning equipment you use in your factory for the following areas - our factory is turning into a rainbow at the moment!
High risk food contact surfaces
High risk walls/ceilings
High risk floor
Low risk food contact surfaces
Low risk walls/ceilings
Low risk floor
Allergen food contact surfaces
Production drains
Warehouse floor
Changing rooms lockers, walls, ceilings
Changing rooms floor (dirty side)
Changing rooms floor (clean side)
Corridor floor leading to production areas
Hand wash sinks
Toilets floor
Toilets sink
Toilets walls/ceilings
Many thanks,
Simon
We have much, much simpler scheme: white - food contact surfaces; yellow - non-food contact surfaces, walls ceilings; red - floors; black - drains.
We're the same as stated above, but our place is pretty straightforward compared to most others. I'm lucky I guess. What do you guys make?
Previous site:
High risk food contact surfaces - N/A

High risk floor - N/A
Low risk food contact surfaces - Blue
Low risk walls/ceilings - red
Low risk floor - red
Allergen food contact surfaces - N/A
Production drains - red
Warehouse floor - green
Changing rooms lockers, walls, ceilings - yellow
Changing rooms floor (dirty side) - yellow
Changing rooms floor (clean side) - yellow
Corridor floor leading to production areas - yellow
Hand wash sinks - n/a (disposable)
Toilets floor - yellow
Toilets sink - disposable
Toilets walls/ceilings - yellow
We also had purple for external areas, and orange for glass / brittle.
Current site - due to internal procedures every area is green, however these are engraved for identification.
Hi Simon,
Product/Process ??
"Cleaning equipment" is a little ambiguous, eg mobile spray units ?.
A variety of patterns may exist depending on the precise flow chart.
From a Product risk assessment POV there are presumably 3 basic partitions - Allergen, High, Low
From a GHP POV it may (arbitrarily?) depend on the specific layout but IMEX toilet "areas" are invariably partitioned from the rest.
Probably easier to colour a schematic flow layout plan. Similar to zoning type RAs.
I have always had coloured equipment based on department.
Hda one company which I loved who would also colour code the work-wear to reflect it.
E.g.
Blue jackets, blue mobcaps and blue cleaning supplies (low care)
Green jackets, green mobcaps and green cleaning supplies (high care)
it was also easily spotted if an ''intruder'' was amidst ;).

Hi marloes,
Only 2 Departments ? So lucky. :smile:

Departments would dress according to the ''room'' they were in. Risks were the same for logistical and low care production for example.
Except for QA who would wear amazing (low care) QUALITY jackets :shades:
(and technical service had their own jackets).
