Whilst the hygiene function is normally a given in any food factory environment, including daily washdowns and cleaning routines, Covid-19 has forced focus onto areas that have never been in the spotlight before.
All of the contact points identified in your ‘going touchless’ journey mapping must be assigned to specific persons or teams who are responsible for them, along with a documented procedure to ensure they are sanitised regularly. With high numbers of staff returning to work and office staff returning to their work desks, this task list will grow longer and you may need to bolster resources available for this.
To increase overall team awareness and accountability, consider implementing dry-wipe boards which highlight high-risk contact points and show when it was last sanitised. This will bring peace of mind to staff whilst demonstrating to site visitors, customers and auditors that you have an effective system in place.
