Beerline cleaner is highly dangerous if used improperly, after high profile cases of customers nearly dying from drinking contaminated beverages, pubs must follow a strict cleaning and risk regime to protect their customers.
Few people in the trade will not be familiar with the story of David Caminal and the Conservatory bar in Leeds. In July 2015 the Spanish film director asked for a taste of Sunbeam beer, unaware that the lines were being cleaned at the time. A new member of staff had turned the pump badge back outwards thinking the reason it was turned inwards was a mistake.
Cleaning lines should never be performed whilst you are also serving drinks and should be finished before you open an start service.
So how do you protect your customers and staff and avoid seriously maiming or even killing someone?
- Staff should always wear protective equipment such as gloves and goggles to protect themselves from the chemicals.
- Make sure you have a full COSHH policy in place for all chemicals you use.
- Make sure all staff are fully trained and made aware of when line cleaning should take place.
- Use an easy to identify sign or warning system to show which lines are being cleaned and when.
- Use of a coloured beer line cleaner will enable staff and customers to recognise if their drink is contaminated.
- Use beerline cleaner test papers to show when the lines are clear of solution.
