HAND WASHING & TOILET FACILITIES
6b Inaccessible
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Food workers may be unlikely to wash their hands unless properly equipped handwashing sinks are accessible in the immediate work area. Handwashing 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 handwashing sink thereby discouraging its use.
PEST CONTROL
7c Evidence of animals on the premises
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Live animals can carry disease-causing microorganisms that can be transmitted to humans through direct or indirect contamination of food and food contact surfaces. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and other types of live animals are therefore not allowed in food establishments. Guide and service animals accompanying blind, visual or hearing impaired or otherwise physically disabled persons are permitted in customer and office areas.

PERSONNEL
2e Smoking; eating; drinking not restricted

PEST CONTROL
7b Inappropriate pesticide application
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Effective and approved measures must be taken to control insect, rodents, and other pests that may get into food establishments. Effective pest management includes: a) preventing entry of pests into the establishment by providing tight fitting doors and threshold, keeping outside door closed, and sealing off any cracks or openings in foundations or around utility penetrations. b) Depriving them of food, water and shelter by keeping the premises clean, free of the acclimation of refuse, garbage and food spills. c) Kill what gets in with the use of traps or pesticides. Only approved pesticides, registered for application in food establishments can be applied. All pesticides must be used according to label directions. Rodent baits must be contained and dispensed form closed, tamper proof bait stations. The use of open bait stations or tracking powder pesticides can result in the pesticides being dispersed throughout the food establishment and ultimately contaminating food and food contact surfaces.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14c Floors; walls; ceilings in disrepair
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Floors must be kept clean, free of any build up of food spills, dirt and refuse. The accumulation of soil on floors increases the potential for contamination of food, equipment and utensils. It also provides food and harborage for rodents and insects, such as flies and cockroaches. To facilitate easy cleaning, floors must be maintained and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Floor-wall junctures must be tightly coved with concave cove base to prevent moisture and food residue from collecting in corners and along walls. Utility penetrations must be sealed to eliminate insect and rodent harborage and to prevent moisture penetrating into or through the floor.
Walls and ceilings must be kept clean and free of any build up of food spills, splash or dirt. The accumulation of soil on walls and ceilings increases the potential for contamination of food, equipment and utensils. It also provides a food source for rodents, insects, such as flies and cockroaches. To facilitate easy cleaning, walls and ceilings must be maintained and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Utilities such as water pipes, sewer lines and electrical conduit are to be enclosed within or behind finished walls and ceilings. Utility penetrations must be sealed to eliminate insect and rodent harborage and to prevent moisture from penetrating into walls and ceilings. Exposed utility lines make cleaning difficult.

PERSONNEL
2d Poor hygienic practices
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Retail food establishments must have a Health Department approved Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan in place when vacuum packageing or when conducting other forms of modified oxygen packaging (MAP). Foods not properly processed using MAP techniques are prone to the growth of botulism. All MAP processed foods must be held refrigerated at 41oF or less until cooking or service. Shelf life of MAP foods are not to exceed 10 days.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14d Lighting inadequate
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Light levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable workers to read labels, identify toxic materials, recognize the condition of food, utensils and other supplies, work safely and to evaluate cleaning. Sufficient light makes the need for cleaning apparent by making any accumulation of food spills and other soil conspicuous. Lights that are shielded, coated or shatter resistant help prevent breakage and contamination of food, clean equipment, utensils and single service items from fragments of glass should a bulb break.
