PERMIT APPLICANT PLACED A COVERED RECEPTACLE IN THE RESTROOM WHILE THIS INSPECTOR WAS PRESENT. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIVE ABOVE.
A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use. AMC 16.60.160(5-205.11.A) ***Facilities must be maintained in a condition that promotes handwashing and restricted for that use. Convenient accessibility of a handwashing facility encourages timely handwashing which provides a break in the chain of contamination from the hands of food employees to food or food-contact surfaces. Sinks used for food preparation and ware washing can become sources of contamination if used as handwashing facilities by employees returning from the toilet or from duties which have contaminated their hands. Effective handwashing is essential for minimizing the likelihood of the hands becoming a vehicle of cross contamination. It is important that handwashing be done only at a properly equipped handwashing facility in order to help ensure that food employees effectively clean their hands. Handwashing sinks are to be conveniently located, always accessible for handwashing, maintained so they provide proper water temperatures and pressure, and equipped with suitable hand cleansers, nail brushes, and disposable towels and waste containers, or hand dryers. It is inappropriate to wash hands in a food preparation sink since this may result in avoidable contamination of the sink and the food prepared therein. **Observed handsink in production room blocked by a table and not accessible for handwashing. Person in charge moved the table while this inspector was present. Ensure handsinks are accessible at all times. Follow directive above.
