Location and positioning of Positioning of equipment from segregated points and from factory area walls equipment in factor production 1.4.2 Equipment must be designed and laid out to minimise any possible contamination from external sources Auditor's Recommendations Look At: Look For: Equipment Specifications Contained operation within the equipment i.e. covered Equipment location Equipment located in a suitable position to prevent cross contamination 1.4.3 All frameworks in and around equipment should be in tubular sections to minimise accumulation of debris and to facilitate cleaning and reduce the risk of infestation e.g. with maggots, molds and ants. Auditor's Recommendations: Look At Look For Equipment Design Cleaning schedule and frequency Equipment suitable for purpose and prevents build up and harbouring of soil Use of food grade materials in design 1.4.4 Machinery mounted on the fioor must be installed on a foundation of easily clean-able, non-absorbent material. It must be either properly sealed to the floor with sealing material which is resistant to the environment or raised off the floor to allow access underneath for cleaning purposes, particularly to drains Auditors re Look At. Look For: pment Design and Position of equipment within the factory floor Use of food grade materials in design No absorbent material Use of appropriate cleaning plans and schedules with maintenance and inspection records

1.5 Condition of floor 1.5.1 Floors should be designed to withstand the rigours of the production processes that are being Auditor's Recommendations Look At: Look For Floor and factory layout Design specifications for floor meet requirements to stand up to rigours of production activity 1.5.2 Floors must be in good condition and must be laid using impervious materials with an even, easily cleaned surface which is free from cracks, pitting and open joints e.g Terrazzo Auditor's Recommendations Look At Look For Floor design Use of impervious materials Floor maintenance schedule Floor free from cracks and open joints 1.5.3 The floor surface must be impervious to moisture and grease, resistant to chemicals and food materials to which it may be exposed and safe to walk on when wet, dry or greasy i.e non-slip Auditor's Recommendations: Look At Look For Floor design Use of impervious materials and smooth surface to allow easy and simple run-off and collection of waste and drainage, yet enable safe movement by Floor cleaning and maintenance Cleaning schedule and records 1.5.4 Floors must be kept clean and free from the accumulation of water or other spillage,s, especially in corners and areas hidden by equipment, materials etc Auditors Recommendations: Look At: Look For. Floor cleaning and Cleaning schedule and records to ensure cleaning of potential harbourage maintenance areas 1.5.5 Coved wall and floor junctions should facilitate cleaning
