What should you never do when sanitizing in an operation?

  1. Use hot water

  2. Don't dump waste or mop water into the urinals

  3. Use gloves

  4. Sanitize before cleaning

The correct answer is: Don't dump waste or mop water into the urinals

When sanitizing in a food operation, it is crucial to maintain proper sanitation practices to prevent contamination and ensure food safety. Dumping waste or mop water into urinals is not only unsanitary but also can lead to cross-contamination. Urinals are specifically designed for waste disposal and not for disposing of mop water or other waste from the operation. Proper disposal methods are essential to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and maintain a clean environment in the operation. Remember always to follow correct waste disposal procedures to uphold sanitation standards in the facility.
