Hygiene standards must be upheld, and the area must be able to handle a fast flow of workers. We work with many food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturers to create gowning rooms to suit their needs. Take a look at our 6 tips to maximise hygiene and efficiency in your gowning room design.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-79636635dae2718ff\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-79636635dae2718ff uvc-6569 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-79636635dae2718ff h4'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h4 style=\"font-weight:bold;\">1.

Evaluate optimal layout for hygiene<\/h4><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Entrance into a gowning room (the pre-gowning area) would typically be the most unhygienic area of the room. There needs to be a defined space between the pre-gowning area, and the gowning area. To minimise the risk of bacteria growth or cross contamination, a shoe\/boot wash machine ideally needs to be located at the entrance of the room. While the workers would have on their personal shoes\/boots, it ensures minimal bacteria or debris will be carried through to the clean gowning area.<\/p>\n<p>Then prior to entering the gowning area, shoes need to be placed in a shoe storage cabinet.<br \/>\nIdeally, a boot rack would be next to the shoe storage, at the entrance of the gowning area. Boots are placed on, then the worker would move to the sanitisation area, where they would wash and sanitise their hands. They would then place gowning overalls, hairnet and beard nets on, ensuring all hair is covered.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-47c79fed941069d1429f9884d9712042.enable-bg-rollover .rollover i,\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-47c79fed941069d1429f9884d9712042.enable-bg-rollover .rollover-video i {\n  background: -webkit-linear-gradient();\n  background: linear-gradient();\n}\n.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-47c79fed941069d1429f9884d9712042 .rollover-icon {\n  font-size: 32px;\n  color: #ffffff;\n  min-width: 44px;\n  min-height: 44px;\n  line-height: 44px;\n  border-radius: 100px;\n  border-style: solid;\n  border-width: 0px;\n}\n.dt-icon-bg-on.shortcode-single-image-wrap.shortcode-single-image-47c79fed941069d1429f9884d9712042 .rollover-icon {\n  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);\n  box-shadow: none;\n}\n<\/style><div class=\"shortcode-single-image-wrap shortcode-single-image-47c79fed941069d1429f9884d9712042 alignnone  enable-bg-rollover dt-icon-bg-off\" style=\"margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; width:800px;\"><div class=\"shortcode-single-image\"><div class=\"fancy-media-wrap  layzr-bg\" style=\"border-radius:10px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"preload-me lazy-load aspect\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#39;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#39;%20viewBox%3D&#39;0%200%20800%20400&#39;%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/A20220304_154242-scaled-1-800x400.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/A20220304_154242-scaled-1-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/A20220304_154242-scaled-1-1600x800.jpg 1600w\" loading=\"eager\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/alliedfinishes.com\/washroom-cleanroom-projects\/a20220304_154242-scaled\/\" style=\"--ratio: 800 \/ 400;border-radius:10px;\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1640059044667{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-57086635dae272e09\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-57086635dae272e09 uvc-5632 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-57086635dae272e09 h4'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h4 style=\"font-weight:bold;\">3.

An efficient design would allow people to be through the process within 2-3 minutes. As each station isn\u2019t a long routine, people will flow through.
