Productive Decontamination Processing
Surface contaminants spread easily in food facility environments. The evolving landscape of workplace safety and the emergence of new health threats mean that rigorous decontamination protocols are more important than ever for effectively managing risks.
Our meticulous process involves cleaning all surfaces, production lines, workstations, walls, floors, and ceilings with specialised chemicals. The area is then air-dried to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Key Factor Implementation
- Surface Cleaning: We clean high-touch surfaces and potential contamination points with strong disinfectants.
- PPE Usage: Our team uses appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follows strict safety protocols. Used PPE is correctly disposed of in biohazard bags as Health Care Risk Waste.
- Wet and Dry Procedures: We follow specific protocols depending on your facility to ensure comprehensive cleaning.
- Fogging Sanitation: This is an optional process using specialised sanitisers. Re-entry time varies based on the chemical used, with an average wait of up to eight hours to ensure complete disinfection

Regular Decontamination Practice
As determined by a risk assessment, decontamination should be carried out regularly. Routine decontamination at set intervals is essential for maintaining a safe environment and minimising contamination risks.
Post-Decontamination Protocol
After decontamination, a conducted risk analysis identifies high-touch areas requiring frequent cleaning. Daily cleaning and disinfecting of these areas help maintain a safe and hygienic workplace.
In Conclusion
