Ensure that there is a cleaning program for each separate area in the
warehouse, including for external areas, gangways, shelving, and racking.

Pest control

Some of the pests that are attracted to pharmaceutical warehouses include rats,
mice, birds, ants, and cockroaches. For example, stored goods can be
contaminated by bird or rodent droppings. Therefore, GMP rules require that a
manufacturing facility has:

a nominated pest control officer

specific instructions or agreements with pest control companies

maps showing bait locations

documentation of all pest control treatments

having frequent waste collections

WHAT AN EFFECTIVE PEST CONTROL PROGRAM INVOLVES

Environmental regulations and OH&S also require companies to protect
personnel and the surrounding environment from the chemicals used in pest
control programs.

An effective pest control program involves:

keeping track of any sightings of pests between visits by the pest control
companies

assigning someone to accompany the pest control agent when they are on

site

using only approved pesticides
