  • Critical: Toxics - Common Name/working Containers of Toxics* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Working container of cleaning solution at the cookline observed not properly labeled.
    Correction: Working containers of toxic items are to be properly labeled with contents. Identification of these containers with the common name of the material helps prevent the dangerous misuse of the contents.
