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.
Aggressive or disorderly customers
— Train staff in conflict de-escalation, refusal of service, and safe withdrawal. Install panic alarms near tills, keep exits accessible, and maintain incident logs. Use private security patrols during late trading if needed.
Fire hazards from cooking or heating equipment
— Provide extinguishers and fire blankets near deli counters, service ducts and vents monthly, and prohibit ignition sources nearby. Train staff in fire response, keep exits clear, and rehearse evacuation drills twice a year.
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.
Sampling/tasting of specialty foods
— Provide samples in covered containers, use single-use utensils, and label allergens clearly. Train staff in safe sample handling, refresh samples regularly, and discard any left beyond safe time limits. Keep allergen charts at sampling points.
