⚠️ CRITICAL 31-5-204/05.11

Location Accessible

Hand sink in basement removed and replaced with a dishwasher. Provide a hand sink that is accessible to every food preparation area.

Why This Matters

Code Requirements

Handwashing sinks must be: Accessible at ALL times; Used ONLY for handwashing; Located within 25 feet of food prep; Clear of all equipment and supplies; Never used for food prep, dishwashing, or chemical disposal; Minimum one sink per 5 workers during peak times.
