The basic function of a clean room is to protect manufactured goods from various forms of contamination. When it comes to the pharmaceutical industry, the economical survival of product manufacturers depends on the safety of the finished product, making proper clean room procedures essential to a company’s success.

In the pharmaceutical industry the quality of a product directly affects the lives of patients, so it’s extremely important that manufactures are consistent in their regular clean room practices. The design of a clean room can have a major impact on the quality of product and process efficiencies. Below are a few things to remember when implementing a pharmaceutical clean room:

• Workflow is key: Control and manage the movement of personnel by optimizing your workspace. The less movement there is, the lower the risk of contaminated particles floating to sterilized areas.
• Protect your employees by providing them with the proper clean room safety attire. Browse our large selection of clean room apparel today!
