Cross connection present or not corrected (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: -- At mop sink, observed a hose connected to an Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) with a water supply line directly feeding a chemical dispenser. Reviewed hazards with the person in charge: AVBs should never directly feed a chemical dispenser because chemical dispensers create continuous pressure, causing AVBs to fail and creating a high-health-hazard cross-connection. AVBs are designed for intermittent use, and they must have their outlet open to the atmosphere. The manager disconnected the hose at the time of inspection. Ensure employees are reminded to never leave a hose on with constant pressure
