What is the minimum illumination required in walk-in refrigeration units at 30 inches?

10 foot candles
20 foot candles
30 foot candles
50 foot candles

The correct answer is: 20 foot candles

The minimum illumination required in walk-in refrigeration units at 30 inches is set at 20 foot candles. This standard is in place to ensure that workers can safely and effectively carry out their tasks in these environments. Adequate lighting is essential for visibility, allowing staff to clearly see food products, safety hazards, and necessary equipment, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and cross-contamination. The choice of 20 foot candles reflects a balance between sufficient light for operational tasks and energy efficiency, recognizing the normally cooler conditions in refrigeration units which can affect lighting solutions. Meeting this minimum standard facilitates good food safety practices and helps maintain operational efficiency within the facility.
