⚠ MAJOR 590.005/5-203.11-PF

Handwashing Sinks-Numbers and Capacities (Pf)

Plumbing has been installed for both hand sinks. Waiting on plumbing inspector to sign off on permit. Ensure soap means to dry hands and handwash signs are posted at both hand sinks.

Why This Matters

CONTAMINATION CYCLE: Using handwash sink for dishes spreads grease and food particles, making hand cleaning ineffective. Staff avoid dirty sinks, reducing handwashing by 60%. Creates breeding ground for bacteria at the most critical hygiene point.

Code Requirements

STOP all non-handwashing use immediately. Handwash sinks for HANDS ONLY. Clean and sanitize sink completely. Post signage 'HANDWASHING ONLY'. Designate separate sinks for food prep and dishwashing. Retrain all staff.

Mass. Code: 105 CMR 590.005 | FDA Code: Section 5
• MINOR 590.006/6-201.16-C

Wall and Ceiling Coverings and Coatings (C)

Enclose the gas pipe in the prep area. All walls floors and ceiling in the food production and warewash area need to be smooth cleanable and durable. Provide smooth walls and replace any ceiling tiles that are not smooth and durable.

Why This Matters

Poor facility maintenance can harbor pests and prevent proper cleaning

Smooth, washable surfaces; No holes or damage; Light-colored in food areas; Clean condition
