Storage Shelving
Potential Risks
Ways to Reduce Risk
1
Regularly clean shelving to stop bacterial growth, and immediately wipe spills on or under shelving.
2
Use rust and corrosion free shelving, especially in wet environments, to maintain sanitary storage conditions.
3
Keep all products covered and stored at least 6" above the floor to prevent contamination from pests or dirty floors.
4
Maintain separate storage areas for meat, fish, dairy and produce to reduce risk of cross contamination.
5
Use solid shelf plates on the bottom shelf to protect stored product from mop splashes and contamination during cleaning.
