Food and beverage
In a food plant, cleaning is documentation.
Everything in this environment eventually gets reviewed by somebody with a clipboard. What matters is not only that the work was done, but that you can prove it was done, on the day the auditor asks.
What goes wrong
The risk profile in this kind of building.
Audit exposure
A third party audit score is a business outcome, not a facilities detail. A weak housekeeping section can put a customer relationship at risk.
Zone discipline
Color coding and zone separation only work if every single person on the crew understands them. High turnover destroys that overnight.
Missing records
If the paperwork does not exist, the work does not count. Reconstructing three months of cleaning records the week before an audit never goes well.
Standards that apply
What you are being held to.
We work to these every day. Ask us for the documentation and you will have it the same week.
- GMP expectations for non-production and production support areas
- HACCP awareness and zone discipline
- Third party audit readiness including AIB style reviews
- Color coded tools and equipment segregation
- SDS current and on site, chemical control maintained
- Trained W-2 crews rather than rotating temporary labor
Our scope here
What we would actually do.
We scope this one against your audit standard, not against a generic janitorial checklist. Bring us your last audit findings and we will tell you honestly which ones we can close and which ones are not a cleaning problem.
- Production support and non-production area sanitation
- Floor scrubbing and drain area attention
- Wall, baseboard, and railing wipe-down
- High dusting on overhead surfaces and fixtures
- Locker rooms, restrooms, canteens, and welfare areas
- Office, QA lab support areas, and lobby service
- Recycling and waste stream handling
- Documented photo inspections against your audit checklist
- Deep clean and shutdown support scheduled around production
Next step
Let us walk your facility.
No cost, no obligation. We take the time your building needs, from a quick look to a full walkthrough of a large site, give you an honest read, and tell you what we would do differently. Whether you hire us this year or three years from now, you learn something either way.
