Item No.: *
Site: Medical-Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE) Log
Violation: On 15 May 2008, a designated food worker reported an onset illness time of 0420; however, this crew member did not call or report to the medical facility until 0720. At that time, the medical staff escorted the crew member to cabin #408 to begin the (48hr.) quarantine process. An email was supplied to the Captain stating the end of the quarantine process. Because of the late reporting, the quarantine process did not start at the illness onset.
Recommendation: When food employees meet the case definition for AGE, ensure the following actions are taken: (1) isolate in cabin or designated restricted area until symptom-free for a minimum of 48 hours; (2) follow-up with and receive approval by designated medical personnel before returning crew to work; (3) document date and time of last symptom and clearance to return to work. When nonfood employees meet the case definition for AGE, ensure the following actions are taken: (1) isolate in cabin or designated restricted area until symptom-free for a minimum of 24 hours; (2) follow-up with and receive approval by designated medical personnel before returning crew to work; (3) document the date and time of last symptom and clearance to return to work.
Item No.: 32

In the sorting area, three boxes of bar mix were resting on the deck in front of the trash cans. The inspector asked where these items usually go to be incinerated and staff stated that the deck below is where the pulper is located and that due to minimum storage capabilities, food at times gets placed in the entrance.
Recommendation: Ensure the garbage and refuse storage room is maintained in good repair and kept clean. Ensure the garbage and refuse storage room is large enough to store and process the garbage and refuse.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Bunker/Production Halogen Injection
Violation: The halogen and pH injection points for the bunker and production lines were located 91 inches (7.5 feet) and 84 inches (7 feet) respectively, from the analyzer sample cocks. 120 inches or (10 feet) is required.
Recommendation: Obtain water samples for halogen and pH testing from a sample cock and/or a halogen analyzer probe located on the bunker or production water line at least 3 meters (10 feet) after the halogen injection point and before the storage tank.
Item No.: 05
Site: Potable Water-Distant Point Calibration
Violation: At the distant point, staff and the inspector measured the halogen free residual at 2.65 ppm, 2.66 ppm, 2.71 ppm, and 2.82 ppm with a hand-held measuring device. During this time, the analyzer read 2.20 ppm, 2.21 ppm, 2.21 ppm, and 2.23 ppm respectively. The inspector took the average of the halogen measurements taken previously by hand and noted a 2.71 ppm halogen level average and an analyzer average of 2.21 ppm. The analyzer should be calibrated within 0.2 ppm.
Recommendation: Ensure the free residual halogen measured by the halogen analyzer is within 0.2 mg/L (ppm) of the free residual halogen measured by the manual test.
