Safe Work Environment:

Cleanliness and Safety

Develop daily cleaning schedules for work surfaces, restrooms, and keep maintenance logs posted for employees to see.

Clean and sanitize loading, staging, and all food-contact surfaces at the beginning of a work day and any time contamination occurs. Clean the same surfaces at the end of the work day.

Establish and maintain a methodical pest control program.

Perform repairs and block access of pests to enclosed facilities and reduce clutter that may provide shelter and coverage for pests.

Keep rodents and other disease-carrying pests from entering facilities by blocking access and using the recommended number of baited, well maintained traps.

Repair any leaks and eliminate standing water wherever possible, as water attracts pests.

Keep records of pest activity and control measures (chemical and other control techniques).

Set above-ground fuel storage tanks at least forty (40) feet away from any building, and keep them child-proof and free of weeds and other easily consumable material. Elevate fuel storage tanks to allow for easy detection of leaks that can harm people or the environment.

Ensure chemicals are stored in a locked, well-lit, and well ventilated area. Make sure they are separated from other chemicals that may cause them to react dangerously.

  • Keep potentially harmful chemicals in a locked, weather-tight, clearly labeled cabinet.

Properly dispose of all empty containers.
