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 V05 (Handwashing procedures) mean?

CONTAMINATION PATHWAY: Improper handwashing is the single most significant factor in spreading foodborne illness. Hands carry 3,200 bacteria per square centimeter. CDC reports proper handwashing reduces diarrheal illness by 30% and respiratory illness by 21%. Inadequate technique leaves Norovirus, E. coli, and Salmonella on hands, directly contaminating food. Employees must wash hands for minimum 20 seconds with soap and warm water: before handling food, after touching raw meat, after using restroom, after sneezing/coughing, after handling garbage, after touching face/hair, when switching tasks. Use proper technique: wet hands, apply soap, scrub 20 seconds including fingertips and between fingers, rinse, dry with single-use towel.

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.
