Document Summary

Layout: work floor - establish a work flow that will minimize the time food spends in the temperature danger zone. Avoid high porosity flooring: contamination - will minimize the risk of cross contamination, equipment accessibility - ensure that equipment is accessible for cleaning. Materials for interior construction - the most important consideration is how easy the operation will be to clean and maintain. Flooring - should be smooth, durable, nonabsorbent, and easy to clean: porosity - is the extent to which a material will absorb liquids, use nonabsorbent flooring in the following areas: Nonporous, resilient flooring: resiliency - means a material can react to a shock without breaking or cracking. Can handle heavy traffic and resist grease and alkalis. Less durable and less resistant to grease and alkalis less resistant to grease and alkalis. Can only be used in moderate traffic areas. Can only be used in light or moderate traffic areas.
