“Adequate Lighting” means there is enough light to safely do usual things such as reading,
walking, writing, etc.
“Certificates, Approvals, Permits, Reports, and other compliance documents” mean a written
statement of acceptability issued by a governmental agency and/or other certified agency
verifying equipment meets a nationally recognized testing standard.
“Clean” means without visible or tangible soil or residue.
“Cleanable” means the item, material, or finish is a made to be cleaned or fabricated to permit

“Cross-Connection” is a plumbing connection between a source of clean water and dirty water.
Here are some examples to watch for:
Pipes connected between your source of clean water and a washing machine that has a
submerged inlet;
A sink faucet that has a hose that does not have a vacuum breaker. That is a part that prevents
siphoning water back up through the hose.
Ice machines with submerged inlets;
Lawn sprinkler systems;
Pressurized soda dispensing equipment.

“Food Service Permit or Certificate” certifies a business can prepare and serve food to the public and is
not the same as a food worker permit.
“Food Worker Permit or Food Permit” certifies that a particular employee or individual is qualified to work
in food service. Each employee working for a food service must have a current food worker permit.
“In Good Repair” means that a specific thing works as it is intended to work and is safe.
“Lodging unit” means an individual room or group of interconnected rooms, intended for sleeping, that are
for rent or use by a guest, and is individually designated by number, letter, or other means of
identification. A lodging unit may or may not include areas for cooking and eating.
“Non-potable water source” is any water source that is not an approved source of drinking water. Non-
potable sources may include watering and utility hoses and sprinkler systems.
“Sanitary” means hygienic conditions that are conducive to good health.
“Sanitize” means to treat a surface or object with a chemical or physical process, such as heat, to control
or limit the presence of germs. For purposes of these regulations, “sanitize” and “disinfect” are equivalent.
“Utensil” means any food contact implement used in storing, preparing, transporting, dispensing, serving,
or selling food or drink, excluding commercial vending and storage equipment.
The licensee must provide a safe, adequate means of maintaining an ambient air temperature of at least
65 degrees Fahrenheit in each lodging unit.
An emergency preparedness plan (EPP) talks about how you will make certain everyone in your business
is protected or cared for if something very serious happens. The kinds of events to consider are fire,
earthquake, or bomb threat. You can add any other situation you think appropriate to your location, such
as a flood.
A basic EPP might include basic facility information such as important telephone numbers, a call list,
notification procedures, a way to identify current guests, guest evacuation routes, response action for
specific events, and training.
We consider the best EPP to be one that can work. It does not have to be “fancy.” It needs to be
something that can be used and will work. The best ones may be the shortest ones. You only need to
have the really important things covered. If your business is in a tall, modern building, it may have to be
more complicated than if you offer rustic cabins

Water temperatures between 100 and 120 degrees minimize the risk of scalding for your guests.
Third-degree burns can be caused by just two seconds in 150 degree water.
Burns also happen with a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to
130 degree water. It is easy to see how water that is too hot is particularly dangerous to the very young
and the very old.
Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five-minute exposure could result in third-degree burns.
In rare cases, very high water temperature can make water tanks explode.
In addition to preventing accidents, a lower temperature will save energy and money.
Be sure staff is familiar with chemicals and their proper use. Cornell University makes available “Material
Safety Data Sheets” for almost all toxic chemicals.
