Hand Washing and Toilet
Facilities Violations
Public Health Reason #06
-
Hand washing and Toilet Facilities: Adequate number, location,
design.
Critical
Violation
Because hand washing is such an important factor in the
prevention of foodborne illness, sufficient hand washing sinks must be
available to make hand washing not only possible, but likely.
Adequate, sanitary toilet facilities are necessary for the proper
disposal of human waste, which carries disease-causing microorganisms,
and for preventing the spread of disease by flies and other insects.
-
Hand washing and Toilet Facilities: Accessible.
Critical
Violation
Food workers may be unlikely to wash their hands unless
properly equipped hand washing sinks are accessible in the immediate work
area. Hand washing sinks which are improperly located may be blocked by
portable equipment or stacked full of soiled utensils and other items,
rendering the sink unavailable for use. Nothing must block the approach to
a hand washing sink thereby discouraging its use.
-
Hand washing and Toilet Facilities: Soap &
drying devices
Critical
Violation
Hand washing sinks must be kept clean and well stocked
with hand soap and hand towels to encourage frequent use. Hot and cold
water must be provided through a mixing valve so employees can properly
wash their hands.
