COLOUR CODING

A basic introduction to colour coding in the workplace


What is Colour Coding?

Colour coding is a system that assigns specific colours to cleaning equipment used in different areas of a business or manufacturing environment. This practice enhances production safety and effectively separates processes, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

Colour coding supports compliance with HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards, ensuring proper analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards in the food production chain.


Advantages of Colour Coding

Minimises Contamination Risks: Reduces the likelihood of bacterial contamination in products.

Ensures Compliance: Helps meet higher cleaning standards and regulatory requirements.

Cost Effective: Durable, temperature, and chemical-resistant tools last longer, reducing replacement costs.

Reduces Cross-Contamination: Clearly distinguishes equipment used in different areas.

Improves Hygiene: Enhances daily cleaning routines with a focus on hygiene.
