Required Practices for touring the facility

Personal Protective Equipment – During your plant walk-thru, you may be required to wear some Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as well as some required apparel. The PPE that you will be required to wear will initially be based on the location you are visiting and the Plant Host’s hazard assessment of the areas to be visited. You are also required to wear a hairnet and if you have a beard, mustache or one day’s growth or more, you are required to wear a beard net. If you are wearing any jewelry such as watches, rings, earrings, necklaces, etc., you must take it all off and place it in a pocket below your waist to minimize safety and food safety concerns. Plain wedding bands with no stones are permitted.

Chemicals in the Plant – This facility uses multiple chemicals on a daily basis. Safety Data Sheets can be provided upon request. Most of the chemicals are used by the maintenance department and sanitation crew. On your tour, you might see some of these and other chemicals. If you do, do not touch the chemical or container to avoid any possible injury.

Machine Safety – During your tour, you will walk by a multitude of different machinery. You are asked to keep your hands at your sides at all times and please remember to refrain from placing your hands in your pockets as you may walk through some slippery floor areas. Never place your fingers or hands into any piece of equipment no matter how safe you feel it is at the time.

Forklift Traffic – There could be forklift traffic in some areas of the plant. Drivers will honk the forklift horn when going through doorways, around corners and in reverse. It is everyone’s responsibility to avoid accidents with the forklifts. Please note: Just because you can see a forklift, it does not mean the driver can see you.

Fire Alarm/Tornado Warning – Please follow emergency procedures provided by host.
