Wash Only Food Equipment - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs



Indicate that a specific sink, basin, or washing station is reserved exclusively for cleaning food-related tools, utensils, and machinery. This separation helps prevent cross-contamination between food equipment and non-food items, which is crucial for maintaining hygiene standards in food preparation and processing environments. The sign ensures that cleaning activities are carried out in compliance with strict sanitation protocols.

This sign is typically placed directly above or next to the designated sink or washing area. It is commonly found in commercial kitchens, food manufacturing facilities, catering services, and other food-handling workplaces. Its prominent placement ensures that staff immediately recognize the station’s purpose before using it.

Using the Wash Only Food Equipment sign supports compliance with food safety regulations, such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) requirements, and helps businesses pass health inspections. It reinforces proper hygiene practices by preventing the washing of unrelated items—such as maintenance tools, cleaning cloths, or personal belongings—in areas meant solely for food equipment.

In summary, the Wash Only Food Equipment sign is an important part of maintaining food safety and hygiene. It provides a clear visual reminder to keep cleaning activities organized and contamination-free, protecting both consumer health and the business’s compliance record.
