Your food manufacturing facility’s reputation depends on your ability to adhere to the highest hygiene standards — and that’s where our color-coded tools at Unisan come into play. Use red, white, or blue HACCP uniforms (e.g., aprons and bouffant caps) to avoid cross-contamination by reserving red ones for processing areas featuring allergens, blue ones for those containing raw food, and white ones for those with cooked food. Color-coded brushes can likewise help improve efficiency by making it simple for workers to choose the right brushes for their workspaces. Supervisors can also more quickly determine whether their workers are using the right tools in the proper places with color coding. Add the right colored tools to your facility today!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why invest in color-coded brushes (squeegees) for food manufacturing facilities?
The use of color-coded squeegees can help you adhere to food safety regulations such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) by making it evident which squeegees are to be used in certain areas (e.g., raw vs. ready-to-consume food areas) to remove contaminants, debris, and liquids from surfaces like countertops, walls, and floors. The color-based system can help lower the possibility of hazardous microorganisms spreading among food products.
2. How can I make my system with color-coded tools accessible and inclusive for all workers, including employees who struggle to see color?
Add symbols or text labels to aid in distinguishing between PPE and tools of various colors. Consider also organizing frequent training sessions to inform staff members of the significance of your color-coding requirements for their HACCP uniforms. Ensure that every employee, including anyone with vision impairments, is aware of and proficient in using the system. Remember to invite staff input to pinpoint any problems with the color-coding requirements. Review and adjust the system frequently to make sure it continues to be inclusive and efficient.
3. What are different colored bump caps used for in food manufacturing?
Orange caps are often utilized to easily see workers in hazardous or busy areas or identify new hires. Yellow caps are typically used for general production tasks. These color-coded tools may also be assigned to workers responsible for compliance and safety checks, making sure that every protocol is followed.
