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

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.

What does Florida violation V50 (Adequate lighting) mean?

DETECTION FAILURE: Inadequate lighting prevents employees from identifying food contamination, insect presence, dirt on equipment, and other safety hazards. Studies show food safety violations increase 60% in poorly lit areas. Employees cannot see evidence of pest activity, mold growth, or food spoilage. Poor lighting also increases injury risk from cuts and burns. Provide adequate lighting: 50 foot-candles at food preparation surfaces and where employee safety is important, 20 foot-candles in handwashing areas, equipment and utensil storage, and at buffet service, 10 foot-candles in walk-in coolers, dry storage, and during cleaning. Use shatter-resistant bulbs or light shields in food areas.
