Location Accessible

Two sinks up front service area and none utilized for handwashing per PIC.I suggest to utilize the smaller of the two as a utility sink for dumping liquids etc. and the other sink for handwashing purpose.All utensils etc. go through a high temperature dishwasher in back so the 3bay sink could be utilized to wash/sinse larger pots etc. from up front.Bottomline is that all area's(front and back need handsinks.Provide a handsink upfront.

Why This Matters

FORCED NON-COMPLIANCE: Blocked sinks force employees to skip handwashing. Studies show 89% compliance when sinks accessible vs 35% when blocked. Each skipped handwash potentially contaminates multiple food items. Inaccessible sinks contributed to Hepatitis A outbreak affecting 660 people.

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.

Corrective Actions

Clear ALL handwashing sinks immediately; Post 'Handwashing Only' signs; Relocate any blocking equipment; Provide alternative sinks for other uses; Train staff on sink designation; Monitor hourly for compliance
