Typical hazards & measures
Lighting and ambience safety
— Maintain emergency lighting, keep bulbs replaced, and ensure adequate lux levels in prep and dining areas. Avoid shadows at self-service counters and maintain signage illumination. Inspect fittings regularly to prevent failures.
Sharp tools and utensil use
— Keep knives sharp, store in magnetic racks, and colour-code boards. Train in safe cutting techniques and ban glass scrapers. Issue cut-resistant gloves for high-risk prep and immediately remove damaged utensils. Review practices in daily briefings.
Noise from open dining environments
— Limit background music volume, service equipment placement, and install sound-absorbing surfaces. Provide hearing protection for staff in high-noise prep zones, and rotate roles to reduce prolonged exposure.
Outdoor dining areas
— Provide stable, even surfaces with edge protection; anchor umbrellas and barriers to wind ratings. Maintain clear aisles/exits, slip-resistant mats, and adequate lighting/heater clearance. Separate seating from traffic with planters/rails, and set severe-weather and table-clean turnaround protocols.
Open food display contamination
— Fit sneeze guards over displays, rotate stock FIFO, and keep hot hold >63 °C / cold <5 °C. Staff must refresh utensils hourly, discard contaminated food, and supervise buffet/self-serve counters. Clean display units thoroughly daily.
