Abstract
Although there is some justification in claiming that an effective sanitation program extends product shelf-life, reduces spoilage, provides protection from disease and infection and improves company productivity, the primary motivating force for management to promote sanitation is its direct impact on corporate planning, corporate marketing and the corporate relationship with the law. Management's commitment to corporate security — its entity and financial security — correlates directly with market share. Since market share is directly related to product acceptability, then effective sanitation becomes an economically viable program. Once a sanitation program has received support by management, and the tools of sanitation have been provided via the sanitarian and QC laboratory, the sanitation message must be taught and followed without exception by management supervisors, employees and inspectors. Industry education may occur through trade associations which prepare Codes of Practice for manufacture and sanitation, universities which offer correspondence courses, professional associations which are committed to improving the professional status of the sanitarian and federal and local regulatory agencies which provide educational materials.
