Hi , our newly setup production area is connected to a changing room. Workers pass through the changing room before entering the production room . However the cols room entrance is located on the other side of the changing room. This means that, at times, workers need to exit production room , and then access the cold room. 

 

All of this is within the same compound. Is this arrangement acceptable?

Hi Carine,

 

Ideally they would have separate changing rooms.

 

Remind me what products you are working with and the activities in production vs. in the cold room? Also is there not additional clothing such as body warmers to be worn in the cold room?

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony

Packing activities carried out in production room, while cold room is for stack up / store the finished product.
