Lighting
Robert, Good topic.
I found this information in my restaurant construction guidelines: 1. A minimum of 50 foot-candles shall be provided at a surface where a food employee is working with food or working with utensils or equipment such as slicers, knives, grinders, or saws where employee safety is a factor. 2.A minimum of 20 foot-cadles is required: A. At a surface where food is provided for consumer self-service such as buffets and salad bars or where fresh produce or packaged foods are sold or offered for consumption B. Inside equipment such as reach-in or under the counter refrigerators. C. At a distance of 30 inches above the floor in areas used for hand washing, warewashing, equipment and utensil storage, and in toilet rooms. 3. A minimum of 30 foot-candle shall be provided at a distance of thirty inches above the floor, in walk-in refrigeration units and dry food storage areas and in other areas and rooms during periods of cleaning. 4. Light fixtures in areas where food is prepared, open food is stored, or utensils are cleaned shall be of shatterproof construction or shall be protected with shatterproof sheilds. |
