Medical-Log Completion

In reviewing the gastrointestinal (GI) illness logs since the previous VSP inspection, there was an automatically populated no answer in the fields for diarrhea, vomiting, and fever from the electronic program used for recording these illness reports. The form populates a no answer under diarrhea even when one or two episodes of diarrhea are reported.

Galley-- All Warewashing Operations -

Potwash and dishwash machines were erratic in operation after potable water system was restored after major water system leak was repaired. Monitor all machines closely during this voyage to assure proper operation and temperatures.

*General Comment-

During major water system leak repair, limited food preparation activities were initially continuing without plans for providing handwashing facilities. When water outage continued longer than initially planned, the lack of alternative handwashing facilities became a critical food safety issue. Upon recommendation of the USPHS EHO inspection team, beverage dispensers filled with warm bottled potable water were temporarily set up adjacent to the installed handwash facilities in food preparation areas that were being used. Food service operations were suspended until the water system was repaired.
