ARTICLE II. SANITATION REQUIREMENTS.
Sec. 6-8. Floors.
(a) Regulation. The floors of all rooms in which food or drink
is stored, prepared or served, or in which utensils are washed or stored, shall
be of such construction as to be easily cleaned, shall be smooth, and shall be
kept clean and in good repair.
(b) Satisfactory
compliance.
(1) The floors of all rooms in which food or drink is
stored, prepared or served are of such construction as to be easily cleaned, are
smooth and are in good repair. In areas where utensils are cleaned or food is
prepared, floors are of grease-resistant material which is impervious to water.
If floor drains are used, they shall be provided with proper traps and so
constructed as to minimize clogging, and the floors shall be graded to drain.
All floors are constructed of materials which do not disintegrate readily or
liberate dust. Wooden floors containing cracks, holes or broken or poorly
fitting planks, or which otherwise fail to be tight, do not comply with this
requirement.
(2) All floors are kept reasonably clean and free from litter
during the hours of preparing, cooking and serving of food. Dustless methods of
floor cleaning are used, or dust-arresting sweeping compounds and push brooms
are employed and sweeping compound is not permitted to remain after the sweeping
process, All except emergency cleaning is done during those periods when the
least amount of food and drink is exposed, such as after closing or between
meals.
