11.3.3.7 States
"Racks shall be provided for the temporary storage of protective clothing when staff leave the processing area and shall be provided nearby or adjacent to the personnel access doorways and handwashing facilities."
So, if a facility uses hooks mounted on the wall instead of a "rack" as prescribed ... am I splitting hairs? Or is the code favoring "rack" usage over wall hooks due to cross-contamination issues? It is hard to overlook the work choice specifically being "rack" when other words less definitive could have been chosen if desired such as "something", "devices", etc.
What are the thoughts of the experts here?
