Inspect stations daily. Observe staff handwashing technique during service at least weekly. Correct non-compliance immediately — coaching, not just documentation.
An inspection and observation checklist for restaurant managers assessing handwashing compliance across the kitchen and service areas. Covers handwash station setup and accessibility, soap and paper towel availability, signage requirements, staff technique observation during service, and documentation of corrective actions when non-compliance is observed.
Handwashing is the single most effective measure to prevent foodborne illness transmission in restaurants, yet compliance rates in food service are consistently low. Health inspectors specifically observe handwashing practice and station condition. This checklist ensures stations are properly maintained and staff are actually washing when required.
