Hygienic maintenance

A maintenance technician who can access everywhere in the factory and open normally closed equipment can discover and solve a lot of problems first, but may also cause them.

This course covers how to perform maintenance in such a way that the hygiene level remains the same, what to do when non-hygienic situations are identified, and the influence the technician has.

OBJECTIVE:

1. Awareness that working hygienically is necessary.

2. Recognizing, signaling, and reporting (and providing feedback on) non-hygienic situations.

3. Making small improvements regarding hygienic design.

4. Working hygienically.
