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.
