Stay Clean, Stay Compliant: Meeting Hygiene Standards in Hospitality & Retail

Navigating Hygiene Regulations in Hospitality and Retail

THE IMPORTANCE OF HYGIENE REGULATIONS

In the hospitality and retail industries, there are many regulations that protect public health and ensure safe experiences for customers and employees. These standards — governed by agencies like the FDA, OSHA, and state health departments — cover everything from food handling and restroom sanitation to entrance cleanliness and slip prevention.

Non-compliance can lead to more than just fines. It can result in temporary closure, negative reviews, and a loss of trust that’s hard to rebuild. Staying ahead of inspections means maintaining strict routines — and having the right tools and vendors in place to support your staff.

COMMON HYGIENE STANDARDS THAT APPLY

While each state may have its own specific codes, most hospitality and retail businesses are expected to comply with:

OSHA Floor Safety Guidelines: Preventing slips, trips, and falls in high-traffic areas.
ADA Accessibility Standards: Ensuring mats, flooring, and walkways are non-obstructive and secure.
Food Code & Restroom Requirements: Clean and stocked restrooms, sanitized floors, odor control, and reduced cross-contamination.
