Let's briefly introduce the protective clothing element and understand its importance.
The clothing you're required to wear during manufacturing not only protects you,
but also the food you manufacture.
Your clothing can capture contaminants,
which can be hazardous for the food being manufactured.
As a manufacturer,
you'll be taking steps to avoid situations
that could make your product unsafe for the customer.
At the very least,
you'll need to have a documented procedure that shows how you manage your site's
Protective Clothing Requirements.
The requirement is to ensure your protective clothing is clean,
maintained in good order, does not pose a contamination risk to products,
and is worn as documented in your procedure.
All protective clothing must be stored properly
in an area that would ensure that clothing is kept clean and free from contamination.
All staff, visitors and contractors must be made aware of the establishment's
protective clothing requirements at induction.
Let's explore the expectations and requirements around protective clothing, in more detail below.
