Cleaning is paramount to keeping your food and operations free from contamination, and the tools you use for this greatly impact how protected your food is. It is also key to securing audit compliance and meeting food safety standards. 
 
However, If your tools are not stored and cared for correctly, they can become a contamination risk. This is where 5S Storage Solutions have been designed for the industry. Meaning Sort, Set, Shine, Standardise, and Sustain, it is a globally practiced storage system

Implementing a 5S system in your food processing facility may seem like a daunting task.

While there a many factors to be considered, and decisions to be made, making a start doesn’t need to be difficult.

Below is a simple checklist you can use to begin the process of implementing a 5S storage solution for your cleaning equipment.
