Why the need for worker uniform of food processing unit?
There are two main goals that food processing uniforms need to accomplish:
1. Protect the wearer
2. Protect the product
If employee incidents or product contaminations are recurring issues in your facility, you need to evaluate how your products are being handled.
The HACCP food safety clothing your employees wear could be causing the problem. We will make sure that your business employees comply with HACCP standards.
1. Velcro front food processing coats instead of button downs
Buttons will ruin your product. Sure, this may sound ridiculous but a single loose button can run an entire production run and cost you thousands of rupees.
It’s best to avoid buttons on food manufacturing uniforms at all costs.
Velcro front clothing is the ideal solution for food processing shirts, pants, and lab coat.
Not only does Velcro front clothing protect your product from contamination, but they also protect employees from hazardous spills since these garments can be removed more quickly than their button-down counterparts.
2. Pocket less shirt and pants for contamination prevention
No pockets above the waistline! Better yet, no pockets at all.
If you want to avoid contaminations at all costs, get rid of pockets on your uniforms.
While food industry regulations restrict uniform pockets from being above the waist, having pockets at all will put you at risk for contamination.
It enables employees to store belongings on themselves that could contaminate your product.
It’s also a space for debris or other contaminants to be transported around your facility.
3. Fitted garments to prevent spills
Are your company uniforms fitted with proper sleeve and body length?
A good uniform will measure your employees and make sure garments all fit properly with the right width and length.
If you provide your own uniforms, this can be a more difficult and time-consuming process.
While fitted uniforms help to prevent spills, they’re also more comfortable, which can improve your employees’ productivity.
4. Durable and long-lasting materials
Make sure the supplier of your food safety uniforms uses garments created from durable materials.
Food processing uniforms should only be worn once before being washed, which means your uniforms will be hitting the wash cycle pretty often.
If your garments can’t stand up to the heavy washing, you’ll frequently need uniform repairs.
Damaged uniforms can otherwise leave your employees exposed and products at risk of contamination.
Thank you very much!
