Module 3Slide 2 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Objectives l Review measures to ensure good sanitation in: ä premises ä equipment ä processes l To review measures to ensure good personnel hygiene l Group session - to discuss the situation in your country and to look at some bad sanitation and hygiene practices in some photographs.

3. Module 3Slide 3 of 26 WHO - EDM Part One 4 Sanitation and Hygiene Scope All aspects of manufacturing l Personnel l Premises l Equipment l Apparatus l Production materials and container l Products for cleaning and disinfection l All potential sources of cross-contamination

4. Module 3Slide 4 of 26 WHO - EDM Part One 11 Sanitation and Hygiene Design of Premises l Design ä Walls, floors, ceilings, ledges, drains, air supply, dust extraction l Prevention of build-up of dirt and dust to avoid unnecessary risks of contamination ä Cleaning programme, appropriate cleaning, cleaning records l Effective cleaning and disinfection ä choice of materials and chemicals, validation l Drains l Protection from insects, vermin and weather ä from receipt of raw materials to despatch of released product

5. Module 3Slide 5 of 26 WHO - EDM Part Two 15.1 – 15.34 Sanitation and Hygiene Avoidance of Cross-Contamination I l Segregated areas l Ventilation systems and airlocks l Clothing l Closed processing systems l Cleaning and decontamination

6. Module 3Slide 6 of 26 WHO - EDM Part Two 15.1 – 15.34 Sanitation and Hygiene Avoidance of Cross-Contamination II l Segregated areas and separate facilities for ä live vaccines and other biological materials ä penicillin products ä campaign processing

7. Module 3Slide 7 of 26 WHO - EDM Part Two 15.1 – 15.34 Sanitation and Hygiene Avoidance of Cross-Contamination III l Ventilation systems and airlocks ä design of ventilation system ä incoming air should be filtered ä pressure differentials and air extraction ä airlocks ä airflow patterns and equipment design ä recirculation versus 100% fresh air supply

8. Module 3Slide 8 of 26 WHO - EDM Part Two 15.1 – 15.34 Sanitation and Hygiene Avoidance of Cross-Contamination IV l Clothing ä protection of operator and product ä highly potent products or those of particular risk - need for special protective clothing ä personnel should not move between areas producing different products ä garments need to be cleaned

9. Module 3Slide 9 of 26 WHO - EDM Part Two 15.1 – 15.34 Sanitation and Hygiene Avoidance of Cross-Contamination -V l Closed processing systems ä For example: totally enclosed water purification systems ä tanks fitted with appropriate filtration - without removable lids ä present special cleaning difficulties, sometimes use clean-in-place (CIP)

10. Module 3Slide 10 of 26 WHO - EDM Part Two 15.1 – 15.34 Sanitation and Hygiene Avoidance of Cross-Contamination VI l Cleaning and decontamination ä procedure for removing soil and dirt ä remove all cleaning chemical residues or disinfectant residues ä must remove or reduce micro-organisms

11. Module 3Slide 11 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Production Operations – Sanitation – I l Work-flow ä designed to avoid potential contamination. l Access ä to production areas restricted to authorized personnel ä direct operators, QC staff, warehouse staff, maintenance personnel, cleaners ä the more critical the area - fewer number of persons there

12. Module 3Slide 12 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Production Operations – Sanitation – II Simultaneous operations l not permissible to process different products in different areas with a common ventilation system l permissible to carry out secondary packaging activities for different products within a packing hall with adequate physical separation

13. Module 3Slide 13 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Production Operations – Sanitation – III Area clearance checks l Process of checking ä all materials and documentation from the previous batch removed ä all plant and equipment thoroughly cleaned and appropriate status labelling ä checklist useful

14. Module 3Slide 14 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Production Operations – Sanitation – IV Area clearance checks l The area clearance check should be carried out by two people ä between batches of same product, acceptable for both checks to be carried out by production personnel ä for product changeover, second check carried out by QC staff ä all checks carried out in accordance with written SOP and results recorded on the batch documentation.

15. Module 3Slide 15 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Production Operations – Sanitation – V l Cleaning and cleaning validation ä degree of cleaning depends on whether consecutive batches are of same or different product l Check cleaning agent is fully removed l If possible hot water alone used for cleaning ä all cleaning and disinfecting solutions carefully prepared and expiry dated l Final rinse with purified water, or water for injection (for sterile products) l Full records kept

16. Module 3Slide 16 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Production Operations – Sanitation – VI l Water systems l Water - major constituent of most products l SOP for cleaning and sanitisation of the water purification system should include distribution pipework l Validation and removal of disinfectant before reuse

17. Module 3Slide 17 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Production Operations – Sanitation – VII l Maintenance and repair ä activities inevitable in manufacturing area. ä Should present no risk to product l Whenever possible, all planned maintenance outside normal operating hours l Emergency work in working area followed by thorough clean down and disinfection before manufacturing recommences l Area clearance by QC

18. Module 3Slide 18 of 26 WHO - EDM Part One 10.16 – 10.23 Sanitation and Hygiene Personnel Hygiene – I l Health examinations ä On recruitment for direct operators, repeated on regular basis l Training - check ä induction training for new operators includes basic personal hygiene training ä written procedures - to wash hands before entering a manufacturing area ä signs in changing rooms to reinforce hand washing

19. Module 3Slide 19 of 26 WHO - EDM Part One 10.16 – 10.23 Sanitation and Hygiene Personnel Hygiene – II l Illness ä staff with illness or open lesions should not handle starting materials, intermediates or finished products l Adverse conditions ä operators trained to recognize risks ä willingness to report illness to the area supervisor

20. Module 3Slide 20 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Personnel Hygiene – III l Contact between product and operator ä avoid direct contact ä if direct handling unavoidable, gloves should be worn ä check glove disinfection (for sterile production) and disposal Part One 10.20 – 10.23, 11.7 – 11.8

21. Module 3Slide 21 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Personnel Hygiene – IV l Clothing and changing facilities ä check changing rooms (handwashing, towels or hot air hand dryers) ä check if used clothing stored in separate closed containers while awaiting cleaning ä laundering of clean area clothing must be to SOP and in appropriate facility ä check for procedure for sterilizing and storing clothing for use in sterile area Part One 10.20 – 10.23, 11.7 – 11.8

22. Module 3Slide 22 of 26 WHO - EDM Sanitation and Hygiene Personnel Hygiene – V l Smoking, eating and drinking should not be allowed in any manufacturing area, including laboratories and storage rooms. l Chewing of gum should be banned. l There should be no plants kept inside any factory areas. l Rest and refreshment areas should be separate from manufacturing areas. l Toilets should not open directly into production or storage areas.
