One of four handwash sinks in the production room does not have soap or paper hand towels. This situation is:

The key idea is that handwashing stations in the production area must be fully stocked with soap and towels to ensure proper hygiene at every sink. If one sink is missing soap or paper towels, employees cannot perform effective handwashing at that station, creating a potential contamination risk. Even if the other sinks are stocked, this incomplete readiness means the facility is not meeting the requirement for usable hand hygiene facilities, so this situation is noncompliance. The remedy is to replenish soap and towels at that sink (or ensure all sinks are stocked and accessible) so hands can be properly washed before handling product.
