A manager checks the handwashing station before opening. Which set of supplies must be there?
a.Soap, a way to dry hands, a waste receptacle, and a sign
b.Soap, a nail brush, a hand towel on a hook, and a mirror
c.Soap, a sanitizer bucket, a scrub pad, and a first aid kit
d.Soap, a stack of gloves, a bar of soap, and a floor mat
Explanation
Each handwashing sink needs a cleaning compound, an approved drying provision such as disposable towels or a hand dryer, a waste receptacle where towels are used, and a sign telling employees to wash their hands. A shared cloth towel recontaminates hands, and gloves or sanitizer are not a substitute for the station's required supplies.
