Inspector’s Notes

OBSERVED NO HAND WASHING SIGNAGE AT THE HAND SINK IN THE REAR DISH AREA NEAR THE THREE COMPARTMENT SINK. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN.

In Plain English

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.
