TS 7097

TS 7097 is a workplace standard for facilities that produce simit and galeta, addressing structural layout, management, technical equipment, personnel and safety. Its focus is the general operating framework for this specific bakery type: how the production area is arranged, how basic business conditions are organized, and how safe working conditions are maintained for staff.

Workplace organisation for simit and galeta production

Simit and galeta belong to the wider bakery and cereal-based product field, where production typically involves dough preparation, shaping, heat processing, and preparation for sale or distribution. In practice, this makes hygiene, equipment placement, process flow and ease of cleaning especially important. The scope of this standard is directed at the general rules for such a bakery from a structural and operational perspective; in other words, it considers not only the production room and its equipment, but also the way the business is managed and the basic safety conditions for workers.

Main general areas reflected in the standard

• Structural arrangement and layout suited to the production flow
• Technical equipment and machinery used in production
• Staff duties and safe working conditions
• Operational management and general organisation principles
• Basic requirements linked to food hygiene and safety

From a general technical perspective, a standard of this kind aims to ensure that the premises are not merely operational, but organised as a clean, inspectable and appropriate food-production workplace. The referenced legislation and related standards point to the importance of occupational health and safety, fire protection, hygiene, drinking water, food codex rules and equipment-use conditions as supporting subjects. In that sense, simit and galeta production is framed within a more systematic environment for product quality, staff safety and consumer-related hygiene expectations.
