Contact Us TodayGood Hygienic Practices work in Seattle contends with a marine climate that never really dries out — persistent humidity makes condensation control, drainage, and mold prevention year-round battles in local plants, and cold, wet seafood environments amplify Listeria risk in exactly the niches poor hygiene design creates. GHP consulting here leans hard on sanitary design and moisture management, the Codex fundamentals that determine whether sanitation crews are maintaining control or fighting the building.
Usually a physics problem before a cleaning problem: warm, humid air meeting chilled surfaces over production means insulation gaps, air-balance issues, or missing dehumidification — and wiping ceilings daily just manages the symptom. We diagnose the airflow and temperature differentials driving the condensation, then write the monitoring and response procedures auditors want to see around the engineered fix.
Drainage design and drain maintenance discipline, eliminating standing water, controlling high-pressure hose use that aerosolizes drain flora, footwear and equipment-wheel controls between zones, and cleaning tools segregated by area and stored dry. Layer an environmental monitoring program on top to verify the practices work — in Pacific Northwest seafood and RTE plants, this is the core of the hygiene program.
Foundational hygiene controls aligned with Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene — a prerequisite to any HACCP, SQF, BRCGS or GFSI scheme.
