June 15, 2016 – A webinar recording is now
available that addresses maintaining food safety through hygienic drainage
solutions. The recording of the webinar would be beneficial for plumbing,
quality, process and food safety engineers and managers, and discusses the
importance of drainage when it comes to food safety and protection of customers
and the brand.
“Drainage Matters – Protect Your Customers
and Your Brand by Preventing Food Contamination”, was a complimentary webinar held
May 25, featuring Mark Haydon, Strategic Manager of Building Drainage at ACO
Polymer Products Inc., USA and Brett Ira, Head of International Key Account
Management, Commercial Kitchens at ACO Industries in Prague, Czech Republic, as
the presenters.
Drainage systems are easily underestimated as
it is often out of sight and out of mind. It is critical to understand the role
drainage plays in commercial food preparation, clean rooms and other sanitary
areas where hygiene is vital and essential in protecting the processing environment
which directly impacts the company’s brand and reputation. Poor, ineffective or
non-hygienic drainage systems can lead to costly ongoing maintenance or worse,
contamination and drastic measures and costs to rectify and eliminate areas of
risk.
Future success of the food industry requires
the continued development and limitation of risk from poor hygiene. Drainage
plays a critical role in this development, yet, in many instances is one the
elements most neglected, therefore posing a serious risk to future success and
the mitigation of risk. Guidance is available through global organizations such
as EHEDG, NSF and 3A, and this is leading to the development of better
solutions for operators both in terms of drainage design and operational cleaning
and maintenance activities. This webinar looked at some of these key areas and
the new guidance that provides a backdrop of the new opportunities available to
operators.
