Workflow

Yachts and ships are generally extremely well maintained to a very high standard. How the crew create the workflow within the food areas is crucial to reducing the risks of contamination. Always adopt the approach of clearing and clearing as you go.

  • A linear work prevents cross-contamination.
  • Separate areas for raw and ready-to-eat foods  (colour coding can assist in this).
  • Good ventilation to prevent condensation and reduce temperature.
  • Areas that are easy to clean and disinfect.
  • Separate Sinks – for food and equipment.
  • Wash hand basins – used for personal hygiene.
  • Always use separate cleaning equipment and materials when cleaning toilets.
