Handwashing Sinks Installation (Pf)

Hot water not on during time of inspection. Person in charge flipped hot water heater breaker on upon my arrivial. Hand sink at 65F at start of inspection. 75F at end of inspection. Ensure hot water throughout establishment.

Why This Matters

WITHOUT HOT WATER: Bacteria removal drops by 75%. Studies show proper handwashing with hot water and soap removes 99.9% of bacteria, while cold water only removes 25%.
