Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in Chester was expanding its sandwich and  salad offerings and  needed to reinforce its food hygiene protocols for a growing team. They placed the Hygiplas J249 wall chart in their main prep area to act as a constant visual guide.

"It’s such a simple thing, but it’s made a massive difference. Our new starters get the system straight away, and  our latest EHO visit went smoother than ever. Everyone knows what they should be using, no excuses."

Michael Davies – Owner

The deli noted a significant reduction in prep errors and  received a 5-star hygiene rating during their subsequent inspection, with the inspector praising their clear visual safety aids.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a prime spot where it's visible to all kitchen staff, ideally near your main food prep area.
  • Make sure the wall surface is clean, dry, and  free from grease before mounting.
  • Use a strong, good-quality adhesive, double-sided tape, or screws (not included) for a secure fit.
  • Position it at eye level to ensure it's easy to read during a busy service.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the chart down daily with a damp cloth and  a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals that could damage the print.
  • Regularly check that it's still securely attached to the wall, especially in high-heat or steamy areas.
  • Use it as a training tool during staff inductions to explain your kitchen's cross-contamination policy.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Safety Signage

Not sure what to look for? When it comes to safety signage, a few key things make all the difference. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right gear for your kitchen.

Visibility is Key

Look for bright colours and  large, clear text. Signage is useless if it can’t be read at a glance during a hectic service. A good colour coded chopping board chart should be instantly understandable.

Material Matters

Kitchens are tough environments. Choose materials like rigid PVC that are waterproof, wipe-clean, and  durable enough to withstand heat and  steam without peeling or fading.

Clarity Over Clutter

The best signs deliver one clear message. This chart focuses solely on colour-coding, preventing information overload and  making the core safety rule stick.

System Integration

Ensure your signage matches the tools you use. This chart uses the industry-standard colour system, so it will perfectly complement your existing colour-coded knives and  boards.

Compliance Ready

Opt for signage that helps you meet UK food safety standards (HACCP). A clear, well-placed chart demonstrates due diligence to Environmental Health Officers.

Why a Wipe-Clean PVC Surface is a Kitchen Essential

Ever seen a paper poster after a week in a busy kitchen? It's usually peeling, stained, and  impossible to clean properly. That’s where the rigid, wipe-clean PVC material of this chart makes all the difference. Think of it like using a proper ceramic plate instead of a paper one; one is built for repeated, hygienic use, and  the other isn't.

This non-porous surface doesn't absorb steam, grease, or food splashes. A quick wipe with a food-safe sanitiser is all it takes to leave it spotless and  free from bacteria. During a health inspection, an EHO will look for cleanable surfaces, and  this commercial kitchen hygiene poster ticks that box perfectly, showing you take hygiene seriously from top to bottom.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: Essential for keeping your prep stations organised and  compliant with food safety regulations.
  • School & Hospital Canteens: A clear, simple way to train staff and  protect vulnerable diners from cross-contamination.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: A compact and  durable kitchen safety wall chart for maintaining standards in tight spaces.
  • Butchers & Delis: A perfect reference for ensuring raw meat, cooked meat, fish and  veg are handled separately.
