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

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.

What does Florida violation V36 (Proper ventilation) mean?

AIR QUALITY: Inadequate ventilation allows accumulation of grease-laden vapors, carbon monoxide, smoke, steam, and odors. Grease deposits on surfaces attract pests and create fire hazards. Poor ventilation promotes mold growth, which produces allergenic spores and mycotoxins. Carbon monoxide from gas equipment causes headaches, dizziness, and can be fatal at high levels. Provide adequate mechanical ventilation to remove cooking fumes, smoke, steam, and odors. Maintain hood systems with clean filters — degrease monthly. Ensure adequate makeup air to prevent negative pressure. Provide sufficient lighting: 50 foot-candles at food preparation surfaces, 20 foot-candles in equipment/utensil areas, 10 foot-candles in walk-ins and storage.
