Sanitation procedure
A documented sequence of steps for cleaning and sanitising equipment to food safety standards.
A sanitation procedure defines exactly how equipment must be disassembled, pre-rinsed, cleaned with detergent, rinsed again, sanitised, and reassembled before production resumes. The sequence, contact times, and chemical concentrations are specified precisely.
Sanitation is one of the most procedure-intensive activities in a food or beverage plant. Inadequate sanitation is a significant cause of food safety failures. Procedures are typically long, involve multiple personnel, and must be completed correctly every time.
Skill Reality guides sanitation teams through each step on smart glasses and wearables, with camera verification available for critical checkpoints such as sanitiser contact time and the reassembly sequence. Each completed step is logged, giving quality teams and auditors a detailed record of every sanitation event.
