Per risk area different questions were drawn up. By answering these questions, you discover the strong points and points of improvement regarding the company hygiene.

• Is water disinfection in the form of a UV-filter, ECA-unit or heating being applied? If so, does this equipment function optimally?
• Is the watering system clean (biofilm)?
• Are there any moments during the year that there is a shortage of water? In what way is this shortage being compensated and what are the involved risks (for example ditch water)?

• Is the greenhouse being cleaned entirely during the crop rotation?
• Are the tools used cleaned at an appropriate frequency?
• Are the tools being cleaned with the proper agents in the proper proportions (concentration)?

Where does the stock material come from (from which supplier) and what about the hygiene of this material? Which risks occur during transport?

Are there any checks regarding abovementioned points? If so, how often is this done?

How do you establish a hygiene protocol for visitors?
To prevent problems with bacteria, fungi and viruses, it is important to use a hygiene protocol with visitors as much as possible. The hygiene protocol is therefore part of a company's general hygiene plan. By requiring visitors to take hygiene measures, the risk of contamination is reduced.

Greenhouse hygiene measures
Upon entering a greenhouse you often see a hygiene station where you can disinfect your hands, and after that you can enter the greenhouse. It is often thought that the disinfection of hands is enough to make hands free of bacteria and prevent contamination of the crop, but this is not true.

Why is working hygienically important?
Although disinfecting of the greenhouse will prevent undesired diseases and pests, it is important to also consider possible diseases spread by people, machines and tools.
