Food manufacturing cleaning your QA team can stand behind.

Yes. Emera builds the cleaning roster around your cleaning window, at night, on weekends or between shifts, so your lines are ready before production starts.

If a cleaner is running late, we tell your production manager straight away, so nobody finds out at start-up.

Emera keeps the cleaning side of your audit file complete, so the records are there when an auditor or customer asks. That means the agreed scope, checklists and photos for every shift, sign-offs and a register of the chemicals used.

We can't pass an audit for you, and you should be wary of anyone who says they can. Your QA team owns your food safety program, and we own the cleaning inside it.

Yes. Emera holds HACCP certification issued by Compass Assurance Services, an independent certification body. We can send you a copy with our proposal.

Our crews on food sites are trained in HACCP-based cleaning, safe chemical use and lockout procedures.

Emera's supervisor does. They run each cleaning shift, check the work against your site's checklist and sign off the handover before your first shift starts.

Your team can also sign the job off on our app and say whether they're happy with it. You have one person to call about the handover, not a crew to chase.

Yes. Emera rosters the same crew to your site, so they learn its layout and routines instead of starting fresh each visit.

If someone is sick or on leave, we cover the shift and brief the replacement on your site. Sick days are our problem to solve, not yours.

No. Emera keeps the chemicals, dilutions and methods in your agreed scope as they are until your QA team approves a change.

If we think a change would help, we put it to your QA team first, with the product's safety data sheet. Once they approve it, we update your scope and your site's chemical register.

You get a report from Emera's app after every clean. The cleaner clocks in, works through your site's checklist and takes before and after photos, and someone from your team can sign the job off.

Each report is a dated record of what was cleaned and who cleaned it, so the proof is there when an auditor asks. See how we prove the work was done.

Both. Emera cleans production equipment and conveyors as well as floors, walls and drains, after our crew follows your site's lockout procedure for each machine.

Your written scope lists each piece of equipment we clean and how often, so your maintenance and QA teams know where our work starts and stops. Cool rooms, freezers and periodic deep cleans can go on the same scope.

Emera cleans allergen changeovers to the procedure your QA team has validated, in the order it sets. Our crews use colour-coded equipment kept to each zone, which lowers the risk of cross-contact between products.

Your QA team decides when the line is released, using its own checks. Each changeover clean is recorded on our app, so it sits in your file with the rest of the shift.

On the hourly rate alone, your own team can look cheaper. Its full cost also includes recruiting and training, supervision, chemicals and equipment, cover for sick days and leave, and any production staff who stay back to clean.

After the site walk, Emera gives you one written price showing what we'll clean and how often, to set beside your own numbers. One supervisor answers for the work, and managing the cleaners becomes our job.
