Part 2: The Ideal
Wash-Pack Facility
Whether
you’re currently dreaming about a wash/pack facility, or already have one up
and running, it’s important to set aside time to think about how design and
layout can impact food safety. There is no one “ideal” wash/pack facility
layout, but there are number of modifications that can be made to greatly
reduce food safety risks. In Part 2 we’ll outline the 5 Principles of Hygienic
Design, the benefits of ergonomics, and how general layout can impact cleaning
efforts, worker safety, and efficiency. We’ll also dive into some detailed
considerations for walls, lighting, flooring, drainage, storage, pest
management, and more.
