Storage of dry food items such as flour, sugar, pulses, rice and canned foods.

Pests that may become a problem in food technology rooms and storage areas include rodents: mice and rats; birds: pigeons and sparrows; insects and other arthropods: houseflies, wasps, ants, cockroaches, moths, silverfish, meal and bacon beetles, flour mites and weevils.

This guide has been written to support staff who are managing these areas, and identifies the aspects that must be considered when managing safety.

This MRAT brings together a number of aspects from other MRATs, and provides information on the use of general hand tools in a practical workshop.
