@the_safety_expert: One of the first places many EHOs head? The hand wash basin. Not to find faults. Just to check the basics. 🔍 Is it clean? 🔍 Is there soap? 🔍 Are there paper towels? It might seem small. But if the basin is clean, stocked and ready, it creates a good first impression. If it’s dirty or missing basics, it raises questions straight away. Simple things matter. #fyp #unitedkingdomtiktok #environmentalhealthofficer #cheftalk #foodhygieneinspection
Biggest question is why is it fully stocked but bone dry

In the days before liquid soap we carved out initials in the bar of soap, if the initials were still there during the follow up inspection, not good!

First thing i noticed is you don’t do inspections on a Friday afternoon or evening, this is when you would really see a kitchen and it’s compliance. An inspection has many factors to cover and if I had your job I would have closed at least ten places this year alone in Ireland.Sad but very true. Actually discussed at what has been allowed to continue with food handling ect… it’s more then hand washing I have seen.🤮

I don't like that it's right next to a storage shelf, but 🤷

If I were a food inspector, I would close the majority of restaurants in Hornsea, Yorkshire.

I was always told they wash their hands first to see if the sink is wet and how quick the hot water comes through

first thing you do when the kitchen warns you of the inspector is flick on the warm water so its warm to the touch. 👍

Well, yeh. Should be like this all the time. The tin opener is the next thing they look at. Should also be clean all the time. For obvious reasons.

The chefs where I work have a food sink but the chefs often drink from the tap and wash their faces and don’t clean the bottom of the faucet as it ‘self cleans’😭

as a catering manager if your hand wash basin isn't in order you might as well go home 😂

Can the blue roll be loose on the side or is it best in a holder like this?

they check the washing of hands correct way and also ask when you last washed your hands and then probs the water to see if you was telling the truth

Inspectors do call Fridays and anytime for that matter. We don’t eat out as much anymore as the hygiene standard of chef and cooks in establishments are at a different level.
