Repeat Violation Priority Foundation-6-301.12, Pf: Hand Drying Provision. -- No paper towels or other drying device at the front handwashing sink (near the drive-up window). The person in charge (PIC) states that they had no more towels in stock. The person in charge placed napkins at the sink to be used until towels are obtained. ***Provisions must be provided for hand drying so that employees will not dry their hands on their clothing or other unclean materials. It is known that wet hands transfer bacteria more readily than dry hands. The residual moisture found on the hands after washing allows for bacterial and viral transfer to food or solid surfaces by touch. The method in which hands are dried is a critical factor in reducing chances of cross-contamination by hands to food and environmental surfaces*** ** For a permanent fix to this violation, check out these simple tools in our Active Managerial Control Toolbox, made especially for you. https://www.maricopa.gov/4573/AMC-Toolbox---Handwashing.
