Instructions for Completing FGIS‑952
1. 	Name of plant and physical address of the sanitation inspection.
	
2. 	Name of the company or individual that owns the plant.
		
3. 	Name of the inspector performing the inspection.
		
4. 	Date of inspection.
		
5. 	Name and title of plant personnel that accompanied the inspector during the inspection.	
6. 	Assigned Defect Points. This column contains pre-assigned individual defect points. The
range of points assigned is based on the importance of the defect item to the maintenance of good
sanitation in the plant. For example, the defect item “Presence or evidence of rodents in plant,” is
assigned a point range of 0 to 5; whereas, “Waste not properly stored or contained,” is assigned a
point range of 0 to 3.	
7. Inspector’s Defect Points. In this column rate the individual defect item based on your opinion
as to the relative potential for product contamination. If the item is clean and presents no
sanitation problem, assign 0 defect points to the item. If the item is relatively clean but not perfect,
assign 1 or 2 defect points to the item. If the item is insanitary or presents a clear hazard to
sanitary operations, assign the maximum defect points possible for that item.	
8.	 Total the inspector’s defect points. If the SIR score meets or exceeds 76, consider plant
operations insanitary. When section XII, Cooling and Refrigeration Facilities, is not applicable,
delete the assigned defect points (22) from the total overall score of 76 or higher and use 54 or
higher as the defect limit.	
9.	 Explain critical defects in the “Remarks” section to clearly describe the conditions observed.	
10.	Name of Inspector who performed inspection.
11.	Date of inspection.
			
Immediately after completing the SIR, give a copy to the plant representative. This copy is the
plant’s written notification of the conditions found.
