I am a sanitation engineer in Ontario, nothing makes me more mad than spending 8 hours or more doing this job and having the qc or cfia come through with their flashlight to pre-op and have NO gloves on and go around touching the equipment (2:22 in the video). Even though hand washing procedures are strict, I do not agree with them doing this.
No, the sanitizing procedure is to kill any remaining bacteria left behind. It is not guaranteed people wash their hands, or wash them correctly. In the ssop it is written that gloves are mandatory for everyone to ensure that everything is clean.

I am a production/sanitation supervisor at a small meat plant in NC. We do production for 7hrs then clean up for only two hrs. When I first started I didn't see any problem in it because I was not experienced. Now I am experienced and I tried to tell the owners that we need more time to clean because we can't break everything down and clean/scrub then sanitize in only two hours. We have it looking good in only two hrs but it's far from where its suppose to be. He is just worried about the production part because of the money and not that much of the cleaning until we get a NR because of the lack of time we have to clean. We only have two shifts day shift and night shift. I supervise night shift and make sure we put out enough meat to keep them happy and make sure the cleaning is half way decent with only two hours. The night shift inspector doesn't stay to see the end of the cleaning so it doesn't get checked until the morning I can't stay at this company for long
Tell me about it I use to be a Foster farm supervisor sanitation and trust me I hate it when the U.S.D.A comes for Pre-Ops and we get like one or two machine that get a N.R that's 30 G per machine or per NR and now the company hvae to bribe the U.S.D.A to look the other way.
I love working sanitation. I been working at bonduelle/readypac for about three months. I'm already training people at certain areas of sanitation. I find it easy work, so far. Pretty much the same as this video.... I don't really take too much apart, mostly everything else. I like it ALOT. The hours are perfect for me. So now , when a robbery, or shooting happens next, I have a alibi when they come and try to say I'm doing something bad. Cuz I'm not. Bonduelle/ readypac in irwindale, California, is a good place to work. I hope to get hired soon.
Maybe see if your employer can provide you with arm sleeves or a poncho of some sort to keep the chemicals off your skin. If you have the correct PPE you shouldn’t get much chemical on you at all. If you do, you should wash it off straight away
I'm a sanitation worker at vantage foods in Belleville and we literally start at 10 but day people leave sometimes 10:30 or 11pm now the crazy thing is the job I work at isn't actually 8 hours.. it's basically 4 or 5 hours to clean not 8.. the day and afternoon schedules are really messed up that us night crew have to rush constantly to get it done which often leads to staff missing breaks because not everyone can be that quick and still have a clean area by the end of the night and miss debris or meat pieces, over spray and fat on the lines and other departments. we get paid for 8 hours but in reality it's 5 hours and 30 minutes
Also the afternoon shift people leave stuff everywhere and clog the drains. So basically with stuff to rearrange and more dry pick up for us.. it's almost 4 hours to clean before preop to arrive

Interesting video, thanks. I have watched a lot of food processing videos recently and always wondered how and when they clean those machines as it looks like they can get pretty slimy and messy pretty quick.
This is great to know what’s behind the scenes at these meat plants where our meat products end up in our local grocery stores to know it’s safe eating from the hard working sanitary team
This was, by far, the worst job(industrial sanitation worker) I have ever had. For 14.75(early 2020,Southeast USA), we were subjected to the worst conditions of the factory workforce while being compensated the worst. You had to deal with wear/tear our bodies, mandatory 12+ hours SAT/SUN's, and it is really easy to tangle yourself up in danger if you're not attentive for the majority the time in this job. Not surprising the only people who weren't filtered by the ridiculous turnover were middle-aged workers who could barely speak English and had little chance seeking something with comparable pay. I pray and am thankful nearly every week for being fortunate enough to have dodged some possibly life-altering close-calls from that job. This experience really helps during the mid-term/finals crunch. I'd suggest just being a trades apprentice if you have the grit to do this, you at least develop something invaluable along with your arthritis.
A 12 hour sanitation shift? The first 1-2 hours of my night are spent waiting for my line to go down. The next 3-4 hours are spent cleaning as fast as possible... 'cause 5+ hours into our shift, production workers are showing up to get in our friggin way right before we finish.
@@JacksonAxe Our facility usually cut the production lines on weekends(it was an industrial bakery), so it would just be the Sanitation crew, a handful of engineers, and a security guard. That gave us the best opportunity to clean all the machines thoroughly. It probably took so long because we never had a crew of more than 18 trained workers at a time. I mean when the Target across the street is paying 15+ and even the security guard is paid more and regarded better than you for watching Netflix and TikTok it's no surprise anyone with a clue ditched the gig.

@@yathercantillano3874 Damn, we're the highest paid at the plant aside from tradesmen, such as electricians etc. We have around 18 cleaners and a couple forklift guys. Truth is: 12 GOOD cleaners would suffice us, but we have about 5. lol We're unionized. OT pay, dirt pay, hazard pay, overnight pay, 6.5 hours of time and a half every Friday from 12-7am. Double time Saturday night/Sunday morning. I average about $25+ per hour for every hour I work a year. I could bump that up if I worked a couple Saturdays a month. Base pay $21 Canadian. We tear down 3 seafood production lines, clean them, and have new lines set up by 5am. 6.5 hours into our shift and we're basically done, aside from those of us that are ambitious. Pre-op runs from 5:30am-7ish.
Very useful video. I am teaching a Quality course at Conestoga College and I will share the video with the class to make them understand the need for proper machine cleaning. This was the reason for the Listeriosis outbreak in Maple leaf Foods in 2008 in Canada : improper slicing machine cleaning
No. Washing/sanitizing are different things. Washing involved removing visible particles and sanitizing involves killing the left over bacteria and pathogens that are present to ensure food safety. The equipment had not been sanitized at this point, so any potential bacteria that the employee could have transferred was killed afterwards.
Been working in a salmon plant as a sanitation technician (fancy title for this job). I actually love it. We are about 11-12 people working on our team. We're split into zones, so that you have your own little area to take care of in the massive facility. Some start earlier than others - depending on which area you are doing and if there is anything extraordinary going on - but we all get around 10 hours of work under the belt on average. We usually work from the early evening into the early morning. Think roughly 6PM to around 4AM. Of those 10ish hours, we usually have three 1 hour breaks. They can be longer or shorter depending on how your day is going. In essence, if you're ahead of the curve for whatever reason, you can take longer breaks. While on our break, we're served wonderful food in the canteen, free of charge. Take all you want. I love this work because of the workplace. The company takes very good care of its workers, and due to the size and significance of said company, the overall conditions for workers are nothing short of excellent. While working, I shut my brain off and listen to hours and hours of music and podcasts while minding my own business. It's a very stressfree job because when you get used to the job, it's very, since it's very routine. You know what you're doing every day. The hourly pay increases the later it gets. So ideally you want to start as late as possible and finish at 6AM when the first daytime workers start showing up. On average, if we round the numbers, I get paid around 30 USD every hour. A bit lower if I start early and a bit higher if I work more hours later (after midnight). Keep in mind that this is in Scandinavia, so I'm not sure how it is elsewhere.

How well I remember. Egg processing plant and then a job at the fanny farmer chocalate factory. Had to learn how to push water to the small circle drains as opppsed to the longer "walk over" drains. Back then it was just water hoses, not the newer type equipment to work with.
same here regarding just water hoses, I did in a larger supermarket butchery in New Zealand back in 1999-2000. Tough job for sure. And now I think with all the newer high pressure hoses and decent foam guns how much faster my job would've been done!
I work as a leading hand cleaner at a slaughterhouse in Australia and I can confirm we have a similar process, anyone who thinks it’s an easy job though is an idiot. It’s a hard job and a stressful one at most, long hours, hazardous chemicals and strict guidelines do take its toll
Jack Hewett I worked at a beef slaughterhouse in Texas out of high school It was and still is easily the hardest job I’ve ever had. I’m a firefighter now and even this job seems like cake over doing sanitation
I do this but we only work for 4 hours a day but get paid for 8 hours and we get overtime. 6 days a week 3:30 am to 7:30am easy hours but it is really a hard job. We do a poultry plant in Gainesville GA
it's easy but it's not, nothing kills me more than a late start, I know they only care about making product but when they run so late that we only get 3 hours to clean the whole night is spent in a stressed frenzy to finish
Were I work this is a high care line in a vegetarian factory. One good cleaner can clean two of these lines (they're in the same room) in less than four hours, if it's just one line that has ran it'll take about 2 hours. On paper it's an 8 hour clean. Production run throughout our 12 hour night shift so there's always that to consider. Management are terrible right now though - never take a job offer from Atalian Servest, we tuped over from The Hygiene Group and they were much better.

The information I most wanted to know isn't in this video. The products are described only as "soap" and "sanitizer." There's no indication of what the USDA requires, as far as cleaning steps and possible options for cleaning products.
I wish I saw your video before I went to work at ajimoto food industry. With their inadequate training I got a chemical burn on the second day and let go on the third . They got upset when I told them I needed medical attention which they never offered , I had third degree burns on my wrist from washing the machine underneath and the chemical dripping on my cloth gloves my daughter took a picture of it . I thought that u had to have eye protection and chemical gloves for this foaming not latex gloves
Was thinking about working at the ajinomoto plant about 20 miles away from me, figured why not take the help, since a guy I know tried to pull some strings to get me on there... It's in sanitation, so I figured to go watch a video... I'm Grateful to have ran upon your comment, because; just helped to make my mind up for me... I knew another guy who worked there cleaning, and also suffered a chemical burn.. Yeah; a Big No-No for me. And, also; Thank You... I hope that you recovered from this and wasn't in too much pain for long... Some of these "businesses" are just plain Ridiculous...
@@ronniebromley1683 Couldn’t you hit them with a lawsuit for not providing the proper PPE(personal protective equipment) if you wanted to? They have a MSDS(Material safety data sheets) for every chemical you have to work with. They have to or they’d be shut down and fined heavily by osha. On those safety data sheets they provide information on how a chemical should be handled and the proper ppe that should be used when handling the chemical/s if they didn’t provide you with the proper equipment you could definitely take the bastards to court if you really wanted to it is the employers responsibility and obligation to provide the proper equipment to you. If they don’t provide worker’s compensation I’d sue the employer. Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules state “employers are mandated to provide certain types of PPE to their employees who must work around dangerous conditions or toxic substances. “

How are you doing. I am really not trying to dis. in any way, but are you not contaminating the machinery by foaming the machines before the walls, floors, and drains? From first to last it would be the walls, the floors/drains, then finally was the machinery. spraying the machinery first would be an issue due to the off splash from the walls and floors. waiting for reply. thank you.
Y can rinse some parts. Before you rinse the whole machine, ask first if they are done with. If the machine ran on pork, roast, etc rinse it all the way with hot water(don't use hot and cold waters). Next foam it all the way then scrub and by parts.. It's alot faster this way.. Experience d Sanitor😊
+mohammed tunkara At the company I work for all food material and grease has to be rinsed off and removed from the area before foaming soap is applied. While the foam does help break down grease it is mostly used to disinfect and remove the leftover residue that could not be removed earlier. If you mean while production is happening, no. USDA requires that no food product enter the area during cleaning and cannot enter the area till the machines as put through a pre-operational inspection.

We're unionized. OT pay, dirt pay, hazard pay, overnight pay, 6.5 hours of time and a half every Friday from 12-7am.
Double time Saturday night/Sunday morning.
I average about $25+ per hour for every hour I work a year.
I could bump that up if I worked a couple Saturdays a month.
Base pay $21 Canadian.
We tear down 3 seafood production lines, clean them, and have new lines set up by 5am. 6.5 hours into our shift and we're basically done, aside from those of us that are ambitious. Pre-op runs from 5:30am-7ish.
Very useful video. I am teaching a Quality course at Conestoga College and I will share the video with the class to make them understand the need for proper machine cleaning. This was the reason for the Listeriosis outbreak in Maple leaf Foods in 2008 in Canada : improper slicing machine cleaning
Or tell them never to work in this nightmare industry
"We are *still* not done cleaning." Oh man I can feel his pain haha
2:21 did she just touch the machinery with her bare hands?? Kinda defeats the purpose don't ya think??
They hadn’t sanitised the machine by that point.
No. Washing/sanitizing are different things. Washing involved removing visible particles and sanitizing involves killing the left over bacteria and pathogens that are present to ensure food safety. The equipment had not been sanitized at this point, so any potential bacteria that the employee could have transferred was killed afterwards.
Been working in a salmon plant as a sanitation technician (fancy title for this job). I actually love it.
We are about 11-12 people working on our team.
We're split into zones, so that you have your own little area to take care of in the massive facility.
Some start earlier than others - depending on which area you are doing and if there is anything extraordinary going on - but we all get around 10 hours of work under the belt on average.
We usually work from the early evening into the early morning. Think roughly 6PM to around 4AM.
Of those 10ish hours, we usually have three 1 hour breaks. They can be longer or shorter depending on how your day is going. In essence, if you're ahead of the curve for whatever reason, you can take longer breaks.
While on our break, we're served wonderful food in the canteen, free of charge. Take all you want.
I love this work because of the workplace. The company takes very good care of its workers, and due to the size and significance of said company, the overall conditions for workers are nothing short of excellent.
While working, I shut my brain off and listen to hours and hours of music and podcasts while minding my own business.
It's a very stressfree job because when you get used to the job, it's very, since it's very routine. You know what you're doing every day.
The hourly pay increases the later it gets. So ideally you want to start as late as possible and finish at 6AM when the first daytime workers start showing up.
On average, if we round the numbers, I get paid around 30 USD every hour. A bit lower if I start early and a bit higher if I work more hours later (after midnight).
Keep in mind that this is in Scandinavia, so I'm not sure how it is elsewhere.

i work as sanitation worker in meat plant in Estonia but its way different how the work is done here, shift is the same 10pm to 6am
They do about...... 75% of what they say they do
unfortunately that seems to be the industry
nah lol working in sanitation at our plant if theress even a spec seen during pre operation we must re go over it and plant has usda in every week
How well I remember. Egg processing plant and then a job at the fanny farmer chocalate factory. Had to learn how to push water to the small circle drains as opppsed to the longer "walk over" drains. Back then it was just water hoses, not the newer type equipment to work with.
same here regarding just water hoses, I did in a larger supermarket butchery in New Zealand back in 1999-2000. Tough job for sure. And now I think with all the newer high pressure hoses and decent foam guns how much faster my job would've been done!
I use to work at maple leaf 8 houre production and about 8 or 9 hours clean
I work in one of their meatless plants, from what I hear about the other plants is they have better standards than us in the states
I work for the neighborhood market. And I clean the meat wall at night.
whats that sanitised water include exactly ?
Is the equipment dry before swabbing?
I signed up for a job through indeed to clean in their warehouse and thought it was the plants they harvested. lol. ohhh!
I work as a leading hand cleaner at a slaughterhouse in Australia and I can confirm we have a similar process, anyone who thinks it’s an easy job though is an idiot. It’s a hard job and a stressful one at most, long hours, hazardous chemicals and strict guidelines do take its toll
Jack Hewett I worked at a beef slaughterhouse in Texas out of high school
It was and still is easily the hardest job I’ve ever had. I’m a firefighter now and even this job seems like cake over doing sanitation
I do this but we only work for 4 hours a day but get paid for 8 hours and we get overtime. 6 days a week 3:30 am to 7:30am easy hours but it is really a hard job. We do a poultry plant in Gainesville GA
it's easy but it's not, nothing kills me more than a late start, I know they only care about making product but when they run so late that we only get 3 hours to clean the whole night is spent in a stressed frenzy to finish
It's an easy job my dude I work in sanation to
to be honest if you weren't an idiot you wouldn't have that job!!
Were I work this is a high care line in a vegetarian factory. One good cleaner can clean two of these lines (they're in the same room) in less than four hours, if it's just one line that has ran it'll take about 2 hours. On paper it's an 8 hour clean. Production run throughout our 12 hour night shift so there's always that to consider. Management are terrible right now though - never take a job offer from Atalian Servest, we tuped over from The Hygiene Group and they were much better.
At 2:24, the equipment has several spots of rust on it. Is that allowed?
+Bob Chambless
Bob, you are very observant. As you probably know the world is not perfect nor did we do anything special to shoot this video. We all wish we could avoid rust in our facilities and on our equipment. What you see being done is very harsh for materials, and this is done every night. Rust like growth niches must be managed. Management of potential problems is a daily part of our Sanitation Process Control Program. Our data show the problem is under control.

It helps if they use food grade oil to oil down equipment and help with the rust issues.

We never use lock out tag out at my sanitation job
The information I most wanted to know isn't in this video. The products are described only as "soap" and "sanitizer." There's no indication of what the USDA requires, as far as cleaning steps and possible options for cleaning products.
Which product am I use in cleaning of slaughterhouse please
I wish I saw your video before I went to work at ajimoto food industry. With their inadequate training I got a chemical burn on the second day and let go on the third . They got upset when I told them I needed medical attention which they never offered , I had third degree burns on my wrist from washing the machine underneath and the chemical dripping on my cloth gloves my daughter took a picture of it . I thought that u had to have eye protection and chemical gloves for this foaming not latex gloves
Was thinking about working at the ajinomoto plant about 20 miles away from me, figured why not take the help, since a guy I know tried to pull some strings to get me on there... It's in sanitation, so I figured to go watch a video... I'm Grateful to have ran upon your comment, because; just helped to make my mind up for me... I knew another guy who worked there cleaning, and also suffered a chemical burn.. Yeah; a Big No-No for me. And, also; Thank You... I hope that you recovered from this and wasn't in too much pain for long... Some of these "businesses" are just plain Ridiculous...

@@ronniebromley1683 Couldn’t you hit them with a lawsuit for not providing the proper PPE(personal protective equipment) if you wanted to? They have a MSDS(Material safety data sheets) for every chemical you have to work with. They have to or they’d be shut down and fined heavily by osha. On those safety data sheets they provide information on how a chemical should be handled and the proper ppe that should be used when handling the chemical/s if they didn’t provide you with the proper equipment you could definitely take the bastards to court if you really wanted to it is the employers responsibility and obligation to provide the proper equipment to you. If they don’t provide worker’s compensation I’d sue the employer. Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules state “employers are mandated to provide certain types of PPE to their employees who must work around dangerous conditions or toxic substances. “
John Butts should have narrated the video in the same way, that he sounded in the beginning and the end. He sounded exhausted lol.
Wow I wonder how many children work there?
More than you think
Video has not mentioned which detergent base we have to use and sanitation chemicals. Nowadays there are many are there no need of hot water. Only simple and warm water is needed .
truly amazing!

More Tech
Quat is the primary, peroxyacetic is rotated to provide broader spectrum of kill along with chlorine
thank you for response !!
Are you recommend the using of Hydrogen peroxide + Colloidal silver for the sanitation ?
More Tech
There are many treatments that aid in the destruction and removal of microorganisms. Likewise, there are many sanitizers that are effective. We must be able to clean and sanitize to the microbiological level. There are no silver bullets or single solutions. Sanitation is a process and must be data driven for each establishment as no two establishments are the same. I recommend what works (data validated) in your facility.

How are you doing. I am really not trying to dis. in any way, but are you not contaminating the machinery by foaming the machines before the walls, floors, and drains? From first to last it would be the walls, the floors/drains, then finally was the machinery. spraying the machinery first would be an issue due to the off splash from the walls and floors. waiting for reply. thank you.
typically you would knock particles from all the equipment then walls to the drains then clean the drains with a brush.
+Zennethe Yep, that would be the best way to do it, I can tell your experienced
This video made me not want to apply for sanitation. Thank you.

Easy money
this is not easy .Because generally 1 person clean about 800m2 alone. I never see one machıne work many people :)
What a shite job this is .i did it money crap for nights also .cold and damp aswell !!!!!!!
Are you Allow to put soap in the machine while food is in the flow?
Y can rinse some parts. Before you rinse the whole machine, ask first if they are done with. If the machine ran on pork, roast, etc rinse it all the way with hot water(don't use hot and cold waters). Next foam it all the way then scrub and by parts.. It's alot faster this way.. Experience d Sanitor😊
+mohammed tunkara At the company I work for all food material and grease has to be rinsed off and removed from the area before foaming soap is applied. While the foam does help break down grease it is mostly used to disinfect and remove the leftover residue that could not be removed earlier. If you mean while production is happening, no. USDA requires that no food product enter the area during cleaning and cannot enter the area till the machines as put through a pre-operational inspection.
