Frozen and food grade warehouse facilities must meet specific guidelines in terms of construction, furnishings, lighting and ventilation specifically. Those guidelines include:
• sealed concrete or tile flooring to stem the spread of contamination
• ceilings free from exposed insulation
• shielded light fixtures to contain breakage
• ventilated shelving that sits a minimum of six inches off the ground
• pallets stored at least 18 inches away from walls to allow for cleaning
• installation of appropriate barriers to keep insects, rodents, birds and other pests out
