A. WHY do I have to clean? PREVENTIVE OPERATION

Cleaning: the action of removing the remains of food in order to prevent:

The multiplication of micro organisms The formation of a protective film that will not allow

the disinfectants to work effectively

There are basic elements in the cleaning process

Water

Detergent

WATER

Flushing action

Dissolving ability

It is recommended that water be used at over 80º C (it acts best as a biocide agent).

Page 30: Facilities and Equipment Hygiene. Facilities and Equipment Module 3 Facilities and Equipment Hygiene (Workers)

3.- Design of cleaning & disinfecting programmes

DETERGENT: The choice of a detergent will be conditioned by the type of a dirt to be removed:

Organic Dirt (grease & proteins) alkaline detergents

Inorganic Dirt (calcium residue) acid detergents

Smooth (slightly dirty surfaces & washing hands) neutral detergents

The cleaning process (together with the testing of its effectiveness) must be included in the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) cleaning programme.

3.- Design of cleaning & disinfecting programmes

DISINFECTION PROGRAMME: Destruction of the microbial flora.The disinfectants are applied in this phase.

Prior to disinfectants, a proper cleaning must be carried out; otherwise, we will find that:

Points of contamination are not eliminated

A medium favourable to the growth of micro-organisms is located on the materials and surfaces

4.- Handling Products for Cleaning & Disinfecting

GENERALPRECAUTION DURING THEIR STORAGE

In order to prevent accidents:

Keep products properly stored

Keep products perfectly identified

Keep products separate from raw materials, from semi-processed or finished products

Keep products into their original containers and their original label

Page 45: Facilities and Equipment Hygiene. Facilities and Equipment Module 3 Facilities and Equipment Hygiene (Workers)

Facilities and Equipment

GENERALPRECAUTION DURING THEIR HANDLING

Avoid inhaling the vapours and use these products in well ventilated places When necessary, respiratory protection, goggles, surgical masks, etc. with the suitable filter for each circumstance, must be used.

Always use the proper work protection and appropriate gloves.

NEVER MIX BLEACH WITH AN ACID PRODUCT! (such as nitric acid or anti-lime products), as they give off chlorine gas which is extremely irritating for the respiratory system and the eyes.

Keep the containers of cleaning products out of the sun and away from sources of heat.

Do not use halogenated dissolvent for cleaning operations on large surfaces.

Page 46: Facilities and Equipment Hygiene. Facilities and Equipment Module 3 Facilities and Equipment Hygiene (Workers)

Facilities and Equipment

GENERALPRECAUTION DURING THEIR HANDLING

In case of doubt, and always as a general work rule, the safety file of the product that is to be handled must be consulted.

Do not store or consume food or drink, or smoke, in places where cleaning products are used.

Avoid contact with the skin and do not allow clothes to become impregnated with these products.

Do not reuse water bottles or drink containers refilling them with the products in question. The containers always be kept tightly closed and stored in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Avoid contact with incompatible products, i.e. dissolvent with oxidants and strong acids,

Page 47: Facilities and Equipment Hygiene. Facilities and Equipment Module 3 Facilities and Equipment Hygiene (Workers)

Facilities and Equipment

GENERALPRECAUTION: FIRST AID

In case of inhalation, move the person to a different ambient, if possible, outdoors. Should it be necessary, apply mouth to mouth respiration or using instruments.

In case of contact with the skin: wash liberally with water. If it has got into the clothing, this must be removed immediately and changed for something clean.

In case of contact with the eyes: rinse liberally with water for about 10 minutes, keeping the eyelids open. Apply collyrium and, if necessary, go immediately to the medical service.

Page 48: Facilities and Equipment Hygiene. Facilities and Equipment Module 3 Facilities and Equipment Hygiene (Workers)

Facilities and Equipment

GENERALPRECAUTION: FIRST AID

In case of swallowing, it is recommended not to provoke vomiting; it would be better to drink plenty of water. It may be essential to know exactly what substance the person in question has swallowed in order to be able to apply the most suitable treatment.

In case of fire where cleaning and disinfection products are involved, avoid inhaling the gases that are formed and use the extinguishing methods that are appropriate for that type of fire. If the fire has been caused by dissolvent, use foam, CO2 or dry powder, NEVER USE WATER jets.

Page 49: Facilities and Equipment Hygiene. Facilities and Equipment Module 3 Facilities and Equipment Hygiene (Workers)

Facilities and Equipment

GENERALPRECAUTION: IN CASE OF SPILLS

If we are dealing with acid or alkaline products, we must try to neutralise the mixture and dilute with water. Consult the safety file in order to find out what the most suitable neutralising agent is, as they may very depending on the nature of the product that has been spilt.

If we are dealing with dissolvent, we would recommend wiping it up with adsorbent materials (meerschaum, diatomaceous earth, among others).

We must attempt to prevent the spilt products from reaching the drains or getting outdoors.

In any case, the waste from these products as well as their containers must always be treated and eliminated by an authorised expert.
