Reserve Your SpotMaintenance is critical to keeping a facility running, but maintenance activities can also introduce food safety risks when they are not properly controlled. This session brings maintenance and food safety together to address risks that are often overlooked between QA, operations and maintenance.

Part of Fix It Fridays, Kiwa ASI's free 2027 webinar series: solving the Most Common Food Safety Audit Findings.
Not another standards-reading webinar: one real-world problem, why it happens and what to do differently.
Every Fix It Fridays webinar is free.
What this 60-minute session covers.
Foreign material, chemical and hygiene risks that maintenance work can introduce.
Building food safety into the preventive maintenance schedule.
Keeping temporary fixes temporary, and reviewing equipment changes before they go into use.
Managing what maintenance brings into production areas, and making sure it all comes back out.
Setting and enforcing food safety rules for people who don't work in your plant every day.
Protecting product and food-contact surfaces while work is underway.
Confirming equipment is clean, complete and safe before production restarts.
Closing the gaps between the teams that share responsibility for the equipment.
Maintenance-related food safety problems often trace back to a few familiar situations.
Loose nuts and bolts, wire, metal shavings, broken tools and packaging from replacement parts left on or near the line.
Lubricants, solvents and paints used near product or food-contact surfaces. Lubricants that could contact food need to be suitable for incidental food contact.
Tape, wire, cable ties and cardboard used as quick repairs. They can't be cleaned properly and can end up in product.
Equipment returned to production before it has been cleaned, inspected and released after the work.
Anyone responsible for facility or equipment maintenance, including:
Six free, live online webinars in 2027, each tackling one common food safety problem: why it happens and what to do differently. See all free webinars.
Move beyond checklists to risk-based, process-focused internal audits.
Find the real root cause and stop repeat findings.
Control the food safety risks that maintenance work introduces.
Turn environmental monitoring data into contamination prevention.
Strengthen cleaning, verification and continuous improvement.
Bring it all together: continuous audit readiness, all year.

See key topics for details.
Maintenance work can bring foreign material, lubricants and other chemicals, unclean tools and outside contractors into production areas, and temporary repairs can leave surfaces that can't be cleaned. Equipment returned to service without cleaning and inspection is one of the ways those hazards reach product. See where maintenance creates risk.
A documented check that the area and equipment are clean, all tools and parts are accounted for, guards and covers are back in place, and an authorized person has released the equipment before production restarts. Many sites call this a hygiene clearance.
Fix It Fridays is Kiwa ASI's free 2027 webinar series on the real-world reasons food safety programs break down. Six 60-minute sessions, one every other month, each tackle one common problem: why it happens and what to do differently. See the full series.
