When to Wash (P)

Handsink was not in operation and no handwashing was performed. I observed staff cutting raw vegetables without washing hands- I had staff discard the onions she was cutting and denature them with bleach- Train staff the impoirtance of handwashing and that all handwashing equipment with soap and papertowels must be easily accessible at all times.

Why This Matters

ILLNESS TRANSMISSION: 70% of foodborne outbreaks traced to poor handwashing. Unwashed hands after restroom carry 10 billion bacteria including E. coli. One contaminated hand can spread bacteria to 7 surfaces in 10 seconds. Causes 48 million illnesses annually.

Code Requirements

Wash hands for 20 seconds minimum with soap and 100°F water: After restroom ALWAYS, Before food prep, After touching face/hair/clothing, Between raw and ready-to-eat foods, After handling garbage, Every 30 minutes during continuous prep, After any contamination risk.
