Cross Contamination Control Services

Germs Free Offers a Specialist Cross Contamination Control Service

What is cross contamination?

One dictionary definition is “the process by which bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one substance or object to another, with harmful effect”. Cross-contamination is of course of particular concern in the food, medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Cross-contamination between raw and cooked food is the cause of most infections occurring in the human body so it stands to reason that avoiding cross-contamination is critical for health and safety reasons among others.

Our Cross Contamination Service – Physical

We are proud to be able to offer a range of physical barriers such as screens, partitions and curtains as well as permanent or temporary hoarding structures to prevent as well as control potential instances of cross-contamination. We have been able to help multiple businesses and organisations, particularly in the food manufacturing sector to deal with issues such as dust, overspray, allergens as well as difficult/pungent odours.

Curtains to minimise cross contamination in food manufacturing

One popular solution is the installation of retractable floor to ceiling curtain walling that is typically used during washdown or end of shift handovers in food manufacturing environments. Flexible curtains allow continuous production in adjacent areas or lines whilst other areas are being washed down. This minimises the effect of overspray cross-contamination when used correctly and coupled with the correct cleaning methods and processes.

Flexible temporary or permanent PVC screening

We are able to supply and fit floor to ceiling screening (typically PVC) internally and externally as necessary. A very popular solution within food and other manufacturing premises as well as the building and warehousing areas. One benefit of flexible PVC screening is that it gives close to 100% sealing against dust and allows food manufacturing to continue whilst construction or renovation is taking place in adjacent areas for example.

Tailored Cross Contamination Solutions

Nearly all the services and solutions that we provide are bespoke and made to measure. There are many solutions available on the market that will solve pretty much every possible cross-contamination situation.
