Using one hygiene lock for two different zones

Hello all,

Our company is currently building a new facility and a question was raised regarding the placement of the hygiene locks.

Some background: our facility is divided into two main zones (pre and post heat treatment), workers come from the main worker area (dining, toilets etc.) and than go into one of two corridors, each one leads to a different zone.

We are trying to decide whether its critical to have two, separate, hygiene locks  (one for each corridor - option B) or just place the hygiene lock before the "fork" (see drawing - option A).

Any suggestions / remarks regarding those two (or other) options would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Itay

This would depend on what your risk assessment says and whether you can justify having one.  If your risk assessment is such that one is sufficient and you eliminate/control risks adequately in your high risk/high care area then one would do.

I would expect you to need a hygiene barrier separating the two zones.  It doesn't sound like your option B would do this "before" the fork in the hallway.

Thank you all,

Product is RTE after heat treatment.

@ G M I think you are right and is the main issue.

Two barriers it is then.
