Typical hazards & measures

  • Customer illness or choking (samples/tastings) — Provide samples with single-use utensils, refresh regularly, and display allergen info. Train staff in choking response and keep first-aid kits stocked and accessible. Record any incidents.
  • Waste and by-product disposal — Store bones, fat, and offal in sealed containers, remove daily, and use licensed disposal contractors. Clean bins regularly and log collections for inspection.
  • Customer aggression or theft — Train staff in de-escalation, keep CCTV and mirrors installed, and log incidents. Use panic alarms near tills, secure high-value cuts, and liaise with local police as needed.
