Typical hazards & measures
- Display cabinets for cakes and pastries — Keep chilled cabinets ≤5 °C, clean daily, and use sneeze guards. Refresh utensils hourly and remove any contaminated food immediately. Ensure cabinet doors close fully and lights do not raise temperatures.
- Noise from machinery — Fit dampeners to mixers and slicers, rotate staff tasks, and restrict noisy cleaning or prep to off-peak hours. Monitor decibel levels and provide hearing protection where needed.
- Slippery floors from flour and spills — Use non-slip flooring, sweep flour regularly, and clean spills immediately. Provide anti-slip mats in prep zones and train staff to use “clean-as-you-go” procedures. Inspect floors frequently during peak production.
- Refrigeration for creams and fillings — Maintain fridges at ≤5 °C with alarms and daily logs. Store cream, custard, and fillings in covered containers. Discard items past shelf life and rotate stock FIFO.
- Early morning or late-night working — Provide adequate lighting, secure entry/exit procedures, and buddy systems where possible. Lone workers should carry alarms and check-in systems. Train on secure lock-up routines.
