Shift:

m-f 6:30/7:00am – 3:00, 4:00PM is the hard stop (USDA) Sanitation duties.

Details:

Cutters are standing at a table and can only pivot while cutting as all their tools / resources are within an arm’s length. This mitigates them from walking around the floor with a knife in their hand. The knives are sheath when not cutting. Cutters wear steel toe waterproof boots with non-slip traction soles. The cutting tables are against a wall, so a cutter is never facing another cutter directly across from them. The cutting tables are 6’ long, so cutters are never standing side by side on top of each other. The production room manager is either standing behind the cutters or within a 6-foot radius monitoring the cutters actions and will take corrective action if he observes a cutter using a knife dangerously.
