Typical hazards & measures
Heavy lifting in small stockrooms
— Train staff in manual handling, limit load weights, and provide sack trucks/trolleys for crates. Store heavy goods at waist height, rotate stockroom duties, and log handling training annually. Inspect stockroom layout for safe stacking.
Wastewater and drainage issues (deli counters)
— Keep drains clear with weekly checks, disinfect sinks daily, and service grease traps monthly. Train staff in correct disposal of fats and oils, log cleaning schedules, and respond quickly to blockages.
Staff fatigue in extended trading hours
— Rotate duties between staff, ensure scheduled breaks are enforced, and monitor overtime hours. Train supervisors to spot fatigue, provide hydration and rest areas, and review rotas weekly to avoid excessive shifts.
Food hygiene and cross-contamination
— Segregate raw and ready-to-eat foods, colour-code utensils and containers, and sanitise prep zones after each use. Train all staff in HACCP, enforce regular handwashing, and keep digital or paper logs of fridge/freezer checks daily.
Electrical safety in compact spaces
— Fit RCDs to key circuits, avoid overloading sockets with multi-adapters, and PAT test equipment annually. Replace worn cords immediately, keep electrics raised off floors, and train staff to isolate equipment in emergencies.
