Maintaining a sterile environment such as that in a cleanroom can be a time-intensive and a significant operating expense nevermind the time and energy that goes into designing such specialist facilties in the first place. Now, imagine just how frustrating it would be to fail a MHRA audit because the changing room next door is non-compliant!
The design and upkeep of changing rooms, wash rooms and administrative areas are all equally significant to establishing and maintaining a business-wide hygiene culture.
Perhaps it seems a little contrary to step back from focusing on the cleanroom itself; however, the changing and locker rooms, in particular, are its first line of defence and as such, have a vital role as scene-setters of the sterile environment.
