Product Specification

Step-Over Benches for Cleanrooms and Hygiene Changing Areas

Step-over benches are commonly positioned at the boundary between two areas with different hygiene requirements. They provide a seated point where personnel can remove footwear worn in one area and change into footwear intended for the next.

A typical changing procedure involves sitting on the bench, removing footwear on the dirty side, transferring the legs across the bench and putting on the appropriate footwear on the clean side. This helps support controlled movement between designated areas without stepping across the boundary in unsuitable footwear.

Step-over benches are particularly useful in cleanrooms, pharmaceutical facilities, laboratories and food production environments where defined changing procedures form part of the site's hygiene controls.

Made-to-Order Sizes and Storage Options

Choosing the correct step-over bench depends on the available space, number of users and the footwear changing procedure.

For smaller changing rooms, a simple bench may provide the required separation without occupying unnecessary floor space. Larger facilities may benefit from longer benches or designs incorporating additional footwear storage.

Where integrated shoe storage is required, consideration should be given to whether footwear needs to be accessible from one side or both sides of the bench, and whether open shelves or individual compartments are preferred.

As the benches are manufactured to order, please provide your preferred length, depth, height and storage requirements so that suitable options can be discussed.

Typical Applications

• Cleanrooms and gowning rooms: Defined changing points between areas with different cleanliness requirements.
• Food processing facilities: Footwear changing areas supporting hygiene procedures before entry into production.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Staff changing and gowning areas serving controlled working environments.
• Laboratories: Practical seating and footwear changing facilities at designated entry points.
• Healthcare and medical manufacturing: Changing areas where personnel follow specific clothing and footwear procedures.
• Industrial hygiene facilities: Separation of work footwear and personal footwear in staff changing rooms.

Suitability for a particular cleanroom classification or controlled environment should be confirmed against the facility's requirements.
