Question 4

What does Florida violation V02 (Employee health policy) mean?

Accepted Answer

DISEASE TRANSMISSION: Without a written employee health policy, sick food workers transmit Norovirus (20 million US cases/year), Hepatitis A (causes liver failure), Salmonella, Shigella, and E. coli O157:H7. CDC estimates 40% of restaurant outbreaks involve ill food workers. A single infected employee can contaminate food for thousands of customers. Maintain written employee health policy addressing: reporting of symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever), diagnosed illnesses (Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli), exclusion and restriction criteria, and return-to-work requirements. Train all employees on policy at hiring and annually.

Question 5

What does Florida violation V08 (Proper hand/arm washing) mean?

Accepted Answer

TECHNIQUE FAILURE: Improper handwashing technique leaves pathogens on hands even when a handwashing attempt is made. Studies show 95% of people wash hands incorrectly — most don't scrub for 20 seconds or miss fingertips, thumbs, and between fingers. Incomplete washing creates a false sense of security while still transferring E. coli, Norovirus, and Salmonella to food. Correct technique requires: wet hands with clean warm water, apply soap, lather and scrub for 20+ seconds covering all surfaces including fingertips/nails/between fingers/back of hands, rinse thoroughly, dry with single-use towel. Use towel to turn off faucet. Do NOT use hand sanitizer as substitute for handwashing.

Question 6

What does Florida violation V23 (Chemical properly stored) mean?

Accepted Answer

CHEMICAL POISONING: Improperly stored chemicals near food can cause acute poisoning through contamination, mislabeling, or accidental use. Sanitizer concentrate causes chemical burns to mouth and esophagus. Pesticides cause neurological damage. Degreaser ingestion requires emergency treatment. Cross-contamination from chemical storage areas can affect all food in facility. Store ALL chemicals: below food and food contact surfaces, in original labeled containers, separated from food storage areas, in designated chemical storage area. Never store chemicals in food containers. Maintain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals. Train employees on proper chemical handling, storage, and emergency procedures.
