VSP 2018 Construction Guidelines

19.5 Provision Rooms
Provide lighting levels of at least 220 lux (20 foot-candles) in provision rooms as
measured at 760 millimeters (30 inches) above the deck while the rooms are empty.
During normal operations when FOODS are stored in the rooms, provide lighting
levels of at least 110 lux (10 foot-candles), measured at a distance of 760 millimeters
(30 inches) above the deck.

19.6 Bars and Waiter Stations
In bars and over dining room waiters’ stations designed for lowered lighting during
normal operations, provide lighting that can be raised to 220 lux (20 foot-candles)
during cleaning operations (as measured at 760 millimeters [30 inches] above the
deck). Provide a minimum light level of 110 lux (10 foot-candles) at handwash
stations at a bar, and ensure this level can be maintained at all times.

19.7 Light Bulbs
Use shielded, coated, or otherwise shatter-resistant light bulbs in areas with exposed
FOOD; clean equipment, utensils, and linens; or unwrapped single-service and single-
use articles. This includes lights above waiter stations.

19.8 Heat Lamps
Use shields that surround and extend beyond bulbs on infrared or other heat lamps to
protect against breakage. Allow only the face of the bulb to be exposed.

19.9 Track or Recessed Lights
Decorative track or recessed DECKHEAD-mounted lights above bar countertops,
buffets, and other similar areas may be mounted on or recessed within the
DECKHEAD panels without being shielded. But these fixtures must use specially
coated, shatter-resistant bulbs.

20.1 Facilities and Lockers for Cleaning Materials

20.1.1 Racks
Provide BULKHEAD-mounted racks for brooms and mops or provide
sufficient space and hanging brackets within CLEANING LOCKERS. Locate
BULKHEAD-mounted racks outside of FOOD STORAGE, PREPARATION,
or SERVICE areas. These racks may be located on the soiled side of warewash
areas.

20.1.2 Stainless Steel
Provide stainless steel vented lockers with COVED junctures for storing
