Workplace Containment
Fermentation
is a biological
process
-- Employees should follow biosafety manual during operation and handling equipments and biological agents. All microorganisms in soy sauce production belongs to Class I biological risk agent
Personal Protection:
1. Protective coating and gloves 2. Eye protection equipments 3. Mouth, nose covering
Class I Biological Risk Agent: Has no or minimal risk to cause health problem to adult human
Workplace Containment
Plant Environment Protection Safety Tank that covers the fermentation tank
Emergency Response
Shut down fermentation process Isolate the problematic tank If leaks to the work environment, evacuate all workers locate in workplace Shut down all electric devices to prevent fire Decontaminate the leaked liquid by killing all microorganisms with chemicals
