Some examples of harborage points include:
- Areas where standing water collects
- Hollow areas or penetrations on the material
- Unwelded or uneven joints, cracks, or seams
- Corroded materials
Protein processors will often need to adapt the equipment to fit their production, and should ensure that the modifications do not expose any additional harborage points. If possible, third-party equipment should be modular or customized to specific specifications of the production facility.
