Effective organization of storage areas involves several best practices:
Labeling: Clearly label shelves, bins, and drawers to indicate contents. This aids in quick identification and retrieval of items. First-In, First-Out (FIFO): Implement FIFO to ensure older stock is used before newer stock, reducing waste due to expired items. Regular Audits: Conduct regular audits to check inventory levels, expiration dates, and the condition of stored items. Cleanliness: Maintain cleanliness to prevent contamination and infection. This includes regular cleaning schedules and protocols.
