Assessment of Cleaning and Disinfection Hazard

HazardSub-FactorsDescription and ReasonWeighting/Score
Cleaning and disinfection probabilityLow frequencyThe lowest frequency of sanitization is applied to offices, storage areas, and wash-up areas.3
Medium frequencyThe next most frequent cleaning regime is applied to nonprocessing areas, such as component wash-up areas, changing rooms, and corridors. Accordingly the middle weighting has been given to these rooms.2
High frequencyProcessing areas are cleaned and disinfected on the most frequent basis. Sanitization takes place pre- and post-processing. Where no processing takes place the regime is once very 7 working days. Due to the highest cleaning frequency, the lowest weighting is assigned to these rooms.1
