In which type of area should a washer and dryer not be installed?

A washer and dryer should not be installed in areas with exposed food or clean equipment due to the risk of contamination. These appliances can inadvertently introduce pathogens or allergens into the environment, which could compromise food safety. Furthermore, the presence of lint, soap residues, or moisture from the washer and dryer can negatively affect clean equipment or food products, leading to potential foodborne illnesses. Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment in areas where food is exposed or where clean equipment is stored is essential to ensure the safety of food being prepared or served. Thus, avoiding installation of laundry facilities in these sensitive areas is a crucial practice in food safety management.
