Hi All,

 

We have a small wall mounted chemical dispenser to make diluted QUAT and detergent in production room. The QUAT originally comes from 1 gallon bottle and detergent from 5 gal bucket. They are located on a wall mounted shell right below the chemical dispenser. We got a minor non-conformance in SQF pre-assessment audit in food defense category because everyone has access to it

 

I am looking for a wall-mounted cage or a cabinet to enclose the bucket, the bottle and the dispenser with a lock to limit access to the chemicals.

 

Do you happen to know where to get the cage or cabinet for that purpose ? 

 

I also saw an enclosed chemical diluting dispenser/station with keypad and sanitation personnel needs enter PIN to get diluted chemicals but unfortunately I do not know where to get it. Does anyone know?

 

Thanks

I take it the Auditor wrote it up as un-controlled chemicals.

 

Anyway, before you go and get a cage or some type of enclosure - how is it that the system is located in Production to begin with?

 

Then - you can either go to your chemical supplier and ask from them to provide  you and install an enclosure or get same from ULine or Grainger. 

 

if you want to go with an entry key in Id go back to your chemical supplier and see if they have that or you could checkout - ECO-LAB or ChemStation, etc.

... how is it that the system is located in Production to begin with?...

 

I'm going to hazard a guess that with a 1 gallon and 5 gallon concentrated container to start with, its a small operation with limited compartmentalization.

 

This does seem like it belongs in a locking cage or cabinet if a room can't be dedicated to it though.  It doesn't need to be anything fancy, a local fab shop might be available to put some panels together for you.  Beyond that ULINE, Grainger, and some kitchen supply companies deal in stainless cabinets.  A little google-fu shows me a few at Home Depot and other vendors of kitchen cabinets.

 

It doesn't have to be an impenetrable vault or anything, just enough of an obstruction that someone trying to circumvent it will be easily noticed by others.
