Brilliant hygiene and safety scan
Get immediate insight into hygiene and safety risks
Brilliant hygiene and safety scan
The fastest route to a spotlessly clean and food-safe production environment. Hygiene and safety in the food industry demand constant attention every day. Machines, materials, staff, and processes must work together seamlessly to prevent risks of contamination, foreign objects in products, or unsafe situations.
In practice, this often goes well, until a critical look reveals where risks have unknowingly built up. With the Brilliant hygiene and safety scan, you receive an independent check-up of your production environment. Our hygiene and food safety specialists analyze your factory, identify risks, and translate their findings into practical improvement actions that can be directly applied on the shop floor.
Not a theoretical report, but a concrete action plan that allows you to improve immediately.
What is the Brilliant hygiene and safety scan?
The Brilliant hygiene and safety scan is a thorough assessment of your production environment. It analyzes the entire production process to identify risks related to hygiene, food safety, and workplace safety.
A food safety expert walks through the facility, observes behavior, evaluates cleaning processes, and analyzes the layout of the production environment. All findings are documented with photos, explanations, and practical recommendations.
The result: a clear report with specific areas for improvement, priorities, and quick wins that you can implement right away.
The 5 steps of the Brilliant hygiene and safety scan
1. Intake & goal setting
We start with a brief introduction and work with you to determine the scope of the scan. This allows us to identify as many risks as possible. That’s how we create the most value.
2. Tour & observation
The entire production environment is thoroughly examined. As part of this process, our specialist assesses, among other things, cleaning practices, machines and machine parts, shadow boards and workplace organization, the use of chemicals, dosing and storage, personal hygiene, and the use of PPE.
3. Identifying areas for improvement
During the inspection, all findings are immediately documented with photos and a description of the observation. These findings form the basis of the advisory report.
4. Analysis & reporting
All findings are compiled into a detailed report. This report includes an overview of the identified risks, including photos and explanations, as well as specific areas for improvement with links to the appropriate resources, materials, or training modules. Risks are categorized using a risk classification system, along with quick wins and actions for the medium to long term.
5. Discussion & next steps
We’ll go over all the actions in the report together. Together, we’ll determine the next steps to be taken and how Brilliant can support this process.
