How far must a sink be located from each work area of a chair?

The requirement for the sink to be located at least 3 feet from each work area of a chair is based on health and safety standards to ensure a clean and efficient workspace for barbers and their clients. This distance helps prevent contamination and allows for proper sanitation practices, ensuring that barbers can easily wash their hands and maintain hygiene without interfering with their work process or affecting the comfort and safety of clients in the chair.

Having sinks too close could lead to water splashes or spills that might create a slippery surface, posing a safety risk. On the other hand, having them too far could hinder the barbers' ability to maintain cleanliness efficiently. Therefore, the 3-foot distance strikes a balance between accessibility for hygienic needs and maintaining a safe working environment.
