Handwashing Sinks-Numbers and Capacities (Pf)

PIC will need to add a hand sink to the warewashing area in the Drink Lab side of the location. PIC stated that the location is going to be renovated and the plan for this are no finished. PIC was asked to call and make the appointment to do a plan review and also to the Drink Lab to the restaurants permit.

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.
