CONTROL NO. III. PREVENTION OF CROSS – CONTAMINATION<br />

A. Objectives<br />

To ensure that raw materials, products and ingredients are not exposed to undue risk <strong>of</strong><br />

contamination from personnel and workers and from operating practices and conditions.<br />

B. Procedures<br />

1. Procedure for Personnel<br />

1.1 Training: All workers should attend a course that will provide proper instructions on<br />

personnel hygiene and good manufacturing practices. See Appendix N for the course<br />

outline. List <strong>of</strong> personnel that attend the course are kept on file as Record No. 7,<br />

Appendix O.<br />

1.2 Use <strong>of</strong> working garments: All workers should be given clean working garments that<br />

protect food from contamination by street clothes, the mouth, face, hands and arms and<br />

head hair, as appropriate. Working garments will usually include aprons, head caps,<br />

facemask and footwear. Clean footwear is provided for use at the dry areas <strong>of</strong> the plant.<br />

All working garments should be worn prior to entry and while inside the processing plant<br />

and should not be worn outside <strong>of</strong> the processing area. <strong>The</strong>se should also be in good<br />

condition and clean. If at any time these are soiled, they should be immediately replaced.<br />

1.3 Hand sanitation: Plant personnel and workers entering the plant should wash and scrub<br />

their hands thoroughly with soap and water and sanitize and dry these prior to start <strong>of</strong><br />

work, upon resumption to work and whenever hands are contaminated, i.e. used to handle<br />

waste, touch the floor or other unsanitary objects. Hands <strong>of</strong> personnel should not be recontaminated<br />

by the washing and drying procedures used. To ensure this, foot operated<br />

water faucets, liquid soap and air drying <strong>of</strong> hands are recommended. Hands <strong>of</strong> workers<br />

selected randomly are subjected to swab test on a regular basis to validate efficiency <strong>of</strong><br />

hand washing procedures. <strong>The</strong> procedure for hand swabbing is found in Appendix P.<br />
