We are a medium-sized produce processor/packer who runs a small sanitation team (in-house) of about 15 people. We have tried almost anything to resolve concerns from this team in regard to durable waterproof outerwear while also having to navigate inevitable sweating that occurs throughout the duration of the shift while cleaning. We have exhausted much of Amazon’s offerings from ski & snow gear, fishing gear, rain gear, etc. to find a solution for our team.

 

Has anyone come across any gear that works for their in-house sanitation team?

Hi mwesty973,

 

 

Welcome to the IFSQN forums.

 

Apron over normal protective clothing, Visor, Gloves and Boots are normally sufficient, see the bottom right picture in the photo below.

sounds like the process is the root issue, not the gear

 

Most places its as Tony stated

 

If they need full rain gear, is it because they are using too much pressure or spraying overhead?  those are process' that can be adjusted with things like scissor lifts and adjusted pressure for hoses

Generally we've used as Tony's advised but that doesn't mean water doesn't get into the fabric coat underneath whatever we've done.  What we've done in most places I've worked is have additional hygiene coats available especially so they can change into dry coats after break.  Hygiene is a miserable enough job as it is without having to put a wet coat back on.
