Handwashing Sinks-Numbers and Capacities (Pf)

No hand sink observed in the basement prearation area. Provide. At the time of the re-inspection the hand sink was on sight but not installed. Management has a plumber scheduled to arrive and install the hand sink within the week.

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.
