The Cleaning Ovens Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides a structured approach so workers are well-informed and equipped to clean ovens safely and efficiently.
It covers the hazards (cleaning chemicals, manual handling and poor housekeeping), operator training and competency, the Safety Data Sheet for oven cleaners, preparing the area, a 13-step guide from switching the oven off to drying it in convection mode, and what to check on completion.
A training and induction register tracks each worker's training and competency. A training quiz comes with the procedure to reinforce learning and check understanding.
