Instructions for Completing FGIS‑952‑2
1. Name of plant and physical address of the sanitation inspection.
2. Name of the company or individual that owns the plant.
3. Type of items inspected.
4. Name of the inspector performing the inspection.

5. Date of inspection.

6. Name and title of plant personnel that accompanied the inspector during the

inspection.

7. 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. The most serious defects do not have assigned
defect points but are listed as “critical.”
8. 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. Score critical Items
as either “pass” or “fail.” For example, the item “Presence of live insects in processing or product
storage areas (two or more)” is a critical item. When any type of insect is present in the number
indicated, it is a critical defect.
9. Total the Inspector’s Defect Points. If the SIR score meets or exceeds 21, consider plant
operations insanitary. A plant may not have any critical items but their overall sanitary condition
is so poor that they should discontinue processing and have a general cleanup or initiate a
maintenance program. Evaluate plants in this condition based on their total SIR score.
10. Explain critical defects in the “Remarks” section to clearly describe the conditions observed.

11. Name of person that performed the inspection. .

12. Date SIR completed and signed..

Immediately after completing the SIR, give a copy to the plant representative. This copy is the
plant’s written notification of the conditions found.
