Deep Cleaning Reset Protocols for Commercial Establishments

The Coronavirus is so wide-spread that if one of your employees tests positive for it, you should already have a response protocol ready and then minimize as much downtime as possible. When an employee tests positive for COVID-19, you should be prepared to immediately implement a response protocol.

What to do if an employee tests positive for COVID-19?

Though the entire facility will need to be considered for a reset of deep cleaning and disinfection, it’s important that we prioritize areas where the employee with COVID-19 travelled. Following WHO or local guidance on isolation protocols, employees who have come in contact should immediately go into quarantine so they don’t spread this infection further than necessary.

Touchpoint Considerations in the Facility

Deep cleaning is an important part of any business. 

The first step in a deep clean should be resetting the protocols for commercial establishments and entrances to keep people safe from germs that can cause illness or discomfort. 

Entrance way touchpoints, employee welfare areas such as changing rooms including lockers, benches, chairs; cafeteria/lunchrooms (doorway frames), tables and chairs – these are just some examples of where quickly turning over furniture with disinfectant cleanser will help stop bacteria before it spreads like wildfire throughout your establishment!

Other areas includes, sanitizing employee washrooms as well as hand washing/sanitation stations with soap or detergent and water if necessary in certain areas such as hallways where bottles are being filled for drinking purposes. Other important items include PPE self-serve storage (hairnet, earplugs, gloves) so they’re easy to access when needed by staff members while performing cleaning duties outside their designated area of work space.

General Measures to Follow to Protect the Facility from a COVID-19 Occurrence

To combat a COVID-19 outbreak, you should first adopt and enforce the use of PPE especially face masks for everyone. This includes restricting unnecessary traffic flow and employee contact with other people to avoid spreading any potential infection around your facility. You also need to touchpoint disinfection protocol (amenity & non production) every 4 hours as well as evaluating mid-shift cleaning options like what type of detergent is available or if it’s feasible for employees to complete deep cleanings tasks in addition from their regular duties on top of making sure that equipment necessary such as cleaners are accessible at all times when needed which will benefit not only your company but the environment too. There have been changes made to how people stand so as not to crowd each other too much- this creates social distance from one another which is really important considering COVID-19 spread. 

We have done risk assessments on what can be potentially hazardous to the facility while you’re at work or when you are resting in your quarters – we don’t want anything threatening our lives! 

Food Service Operators – Personal Hygiene Tips 

To prevent food poisoning, follow these tips: 

-Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling food, and wash them again frequently during work.

-Dry your hands with a clean towel or under an air dryer to avoid spreading bacteria from other people on the equipment you touch while working in the kitchen.

-Avoid touching any surfaces or equipment in the kitchen that are not designated for serving customers. 

-Dress yourself in clean clothes when needed – aprons are good too if they’re available as part of your uniform.

-Make sure no one coughs over anything edible either! The best way to do all these things is to stay away from potentially hazardous areas altogether when you have any symptoms. Never smoke near where food is prepared or stored; never chew gum around fresh produce because it can introduce harmful bacteria into the environment. Don’t change diapers on counters right next to anything edible either! Eat away from areas where raw meats are being handled. 

-Keep spare clothes and other personal items away from places where the kitchen is being prepared or stored. 

-Tie back hair if it’s too long so that your hands are always available for washing them when you need to handle foods like raw chicken or vegetables in order – make sure not use polish on nails because this could chip into the meals themselves! 

-Avoid wearing jewellery around customers as well unless it’s a plain banded ring/sleeper earring which won’t present any potential problems. 

-Cover all cuts with wound strips to prevent them infecting anything you come into contact with! Wear disposable gloves over the top of any wounds on your hands if you have them, strip off old ones and replace.

-Regularly advise a supervisor about feeling unwell out of concern for other people.

Guidelines for Cleaning of Dairy Plant Processing Equipment

To ensure the safety of dairy products, it is necessary to properly clean and sanitize equipment as well as the surrounding environment. Manual or automatic cleaning systems may appear fail-proof but improper chemical usage protocols can lead to undesirable outcomes. 

All good cleaning processes involve these four steps: pre rinse, chemical wash, post rinse and sanitation. 

Pre-rinse cycle removes any visible soils from surfaces for better initial results in subsequent processes that require chemicals like washing with detergents; while also reducing consumption of those same chemicals by up to 50% during each use.

The pre-rinse cycle will remove any visible dirt from surfaces so that chemical solutions can be more effective at removing soils during washing cycles in subsequent steps. This is essential because improper cleaning protocols like using an inadequate amount of chemicals or not thoroughly rinsing off a surface could result in less than desirable results for producers and consumers alike if they’re exposed to unsafe products!

Importance of Choosing Correct Chemicals for the Task

The chemical wash cycle helps remove any stubborn stains missed in the pre-rinse process, while also lifting off bio-films which stick onto surfaces of your machine.

Specially formulated chemical cleaners are used to penetrate and remove any tough soils. As no commodity chemical possess all desired properties. Further quality of available water for cleaning causes significant impact on the outcome. Olive Ridley offers advanced detergents that are a blend of compounds providing desired results.

After Chemical wash, comes another step to help sanitize everything–the post-rinse cycle removes suspended soils as well as removing bacteria from every nook and cranny of the machinery, finishing up with an accepted level for microorganisms before you go into final sanitation mode where all remaining traces will be eliminated convincingly enough.

Methods of improving Hygiene in the Dairy Supply Chain.

All foods have the potential to cause food borne illness, and milk and dairy products are no exception. Dairy animals may carry human pathogens that they then pass on via their milk, which can increase how likely it is for you or someone else near you to get sick from consuming a tainted product. Moreover, the milking procedure, subsequent pooling and the storage of milk carry the risks of further contamination from man or the environment or growth of inherent pathogens. Further, the composition of many milk products makes them good media for the outgrowth of pathogenic micro-organisms. Therefore, implementing the proper hygienic control of milk and milk products throughout the food chain is essential to ensure the safety and suitability of these foods for their intended use.

Ensuring the safety and suitability of milk products requires a continuum of effective effort, beginning with manufacturers who are responsible for making sure that their product is safe. However, it extends to other parties in the food chain as well including producers themselves. Furthermore, constructing an accurate system or maintaining proper hygienic control throughout this entire scope can ensure not only the safety but also preserve quality dairy products which provide important nutrients for human health.

Milk producers should be sure to maintain good hygiene and animal husbandry practices at all times. Manufacturers must use clean manufacturing facilities with appropriate hygienic measures in place. Distributors, transporters and retailers are obligated to ensure that products under their control come from reputable sources that have followed these guidelines for safe handling of milk products.

Animal holding areas – The design of the animal’s area should be set up in a way that will not affect their health. Animals’ living spaces need to be clean and maintained, which minimizes any risk for infection or contamination with milk products.

Milking Areas – Where milking takes place on site has been carefully planned out so as to minimize risks associated with animals becoming contaminated by dirty buildings, materials used during the process, or an increased likelihood of contracting infections from other cows at this facility

Milking equipment cleaning and disinfection

Milking equipment and storage tanks must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected following each milking, then dried when appropriate. Rinsing of the equipment should remove all detergents or disinfectants in those circumstances where manufacturer instructions indicate that rinsing is not required. Water used for cleaning and rinsing must be safe to use so as not to contaminate milk with chemicals.

Milk storage equipment:

Milk storage tanks and cans should be designed to ensure complete drainage. They also need to avoid contamination of the milk when it is stored, which can happen if they are not well-designed. 

Collection, transport and delivery:

Milk transport tankers and containers must have a design that allows for easy cleaning and disinfecting in order to protect consumers from any potentially harmful pathogens present on these items. The temperature during transit needs to keep the product safe without risking spoilage so as long as there haven’t been many stops or delays along its way between collection points like farms or processing plants, chilling centres like dairies where packaged fluid products will be processed before being distributed throughout the country via truck routes.
