Custom Hygiene SOP Program
Program Overview
Our Custom SOP Program is developed as a specific program customized for each facility. DERMAGLOVE® has successfully implemented SOP guidelines in many facilities, including restaurants, offices, aquariums, museums, food processing plants, and aeronautical plants, looking for guidance and accountability to elevate facility hygiene management controls. Regardless of size, every company should have an up-to-date hygiene SOP; this custom-tailored manual is a critical guide in training staff on the proper techniques and practices for cleaning and maintaining adequate hygiene related to environmental regulations, personal health, and safety standards.
The manual is a reference guide for meeting standards based on EPA, FDA, and Food Safety Guidelines (Title 21-Food and Drugs Chapter I Subpar B 110-110.37.). A hygiene SOP should include detailed directions for cleaning protocols, tools, equipment requirements and maintenance, and other cleaning materials and products. Each product presented in the program must consist of safety data Sheets (SDS), product usage instructions, and spec sheets. When an SOP is custom-tailored to the facility, it becomes an efficient, eco-friendly directional guidance tool to ensure staff are appropriately prepared to conduct best hygiene practices, using the proper products with a complete understanding of the procedures specific to the building interiors, contents based on the occupant’s needs.
Certified instructors can provide on-site training and instruction for adhering to the SOP properly, emphasizing the importance of scheduled cleaning methods incorporated into area-specific practices for streamlining day-to-day hygiene required to maintain a clean, safe, and healthy indoor environment.
Benefits of the Program
Each SOP includes versatile and practical cleaning solutions developed through extensive research and collaboration with industrial chemists, laboratory scientists, and public health experts.

Improve regulatory compliance: Adhering to EPA, FDA, and Food Safety standards as outlined in the SOP protects a business from fines and penalties due to non-compliance.
Enhance employee safety: A well-documented SOP ensures staff know how to safely handle cleaning agents and follow procedures that minimize accidents or injuries, further protecting the business from worker compensation claims.

An SOP will provide clear, consistent guidelines for all employees, ensuring that:
Cleaning protocols become uniform: Reducing the risk of human error, which could lead to contamination, equipment malfunction, or accidents.
New Staff is effectively trained: A formal SOP makes onboarding new employees more manageable and ensures everyone is trained to the same standard.
