Item No.: 44
Site: Other-Cherry On Top
Violation: Two waffle irons were on the back bar counter. It was unclear if the bulkhead and deckhead were stainless steel, and there was no dedicated local exhaust above the cooking area. A decorative sign was attached directly behind this cooking area. It was not clear if this area was presented to VSP for review before installation of the cooking equipment.
Recommendation: Procedures, systems, equipment, technology, processes, or activities that are not identified in the scope of this manual must not be tested or introduced operationally onboard any vessel until the concept is submitted in writing to the VSP Chief for review. If the review determines the concept is within the scope of the VSP Operations Manual, written procedures, control measures, or a complete variance submission may be required.
