2. Plant Hygiene Philosophy
All workplace environments need to be hygienic and safe for both employees
and visitors. This applies to all, not just workplaces involved in handling food
and personal products.
The philosophy of a plant hygiene process is to locate plant processes,
procedures, practices, equipment and raw materials that can contribute to
microbial contamination. With this knowledge, problem areas can be
addressed economically and before serious quality issues impact the final
product.
