Section 35:37-7-3 - Floor plans

(a) A floor plan shall be submitted for each entire floor of the establishment. Each floor plan shall accurately illustrate the facilities as they will exist when the establishment is actually in operation. Most floor plans should be scaled 1/8 inch-per-foot. However, complicated layouts such as large slaughtering departments, hog cutting departments, and large sausage kitchens shall be scaled 1/4 inch-per-foot so that necessary details can be clearly illustrated. Very large floor plans may be divided into two or more sheets by using a key to show how the sheets relate to each other.

(b) Floor plans shall show essential features including locations of walls, partitions, posts, doorways, windows, floor drainage openings, gutters, rail systems for conveying carcasses, principal pieces of equipment (also include platforms, tables, etc.), hot and cold water hose connections, hand-washing facilities, pipelines for moving product or product ingredients, lockers and benches, toilets, urinals, shelves, racks, chutes, conveyors, ventilation fans, ramps, and stairways.

(c) Floor plans for poultry plants shall also show the point at which live poultry is hung on the conveyor line, the point at which dressed poultry is removed, the point of transfer of dressed poultry to the eviscerating line, and the routes of the edible and inedible products.

(d) In addition to the drawing features, the floor plans shall include the name and use of each room, number of employees using each welfare and toilet room, room temperature (for coolers, freezers, processing areas, etc.), height of rails, height of all work platforms, and height of inspection tables. The rooms or areas illustrated on the drawings that will not be part of the official establishment shall be clearly marked as such.

(e) The pitch of floors to floor drains or drainage gutters shall be indicated by either grade lines or arrows noting the direction of the pitch.
