6-301: Handwashing Facilities

6-301.20 Disposable Towels, Waste Receptacle.

Waste receptacles at handwashing sinks are required for the collection of disposable

towels so that the paper waste will be contained, will not contact food directly or

indirectly, and will not become an attractant for insects or rodents.

Toilets and urinals

6-302.10 Minimum Number.

Refer to the public health reason for § 5-203.12.

6-302.11 Toilet Tissue, Availability.

To minimize hand contact with fecal waste, toilet tissue is necessary for hygienic

cleaning following use of toilet facilities. Toilet tissue must be supplied to meet the

demand.

Lighting

6-303.11 Intensity.

Lighting levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable employees

to perform certain functions such as reading labels; discerning the color of

substances; identifying toxic materials; recognizing the condition of food, utensils,

and supplies; and safely conducting general food establishment operations and

clean-up.

Properly distributed light makes the need for cleaning apparent by making

accumulations of soil conspicuous.
