Is it acceptable for the handwash lavatory to be greater than 25 feet from an ice bagging operation if there are no intervening barriers?
ยง229.166(h)(1) The operating procedures should be evaluated. Typically, bagging ice is performed as a batch operation. If employees wash their hands prior to bagging and use good hygienic practices, the lavatory may be greater than 25 feet away. No maximum distance requirement has been established for the lavatory location.
