At least a pre-season assessment and then later a full GAP ranch self assessment should be on file. More frequent verifications may be necessary depending on the type of crop, ranch/field location and associated risk pressures. Surveys are designed to identify problems and/or situations which need improvement in advance (maintenance of documentation etc.). Records should show where corrective actions have been made.

If self contained toilets are used, the toilet basins should be emptied, pumped, and cleaned in a manner to avoid contamination to product, packaging, equipment, and growing areas. Equipment used in emptying/pumping must be in good working order. A documented policy should exist and if occurring at the time of the verification, the policy should be followed.
