Typical hazards & measures
Customer aggression or disorderly conduct
— Train staff in de-escalation, keep panic alarms at tills, and maintain incident logs. Use CCTV for monitoring, liaise with local police if needed, and refuse service to disorderly customers.
Allergen management (nuts, dairy, gluten, soy)
— Display clear allergen information at counters, keep an allergen matrix, and train staff in scripted responses. Use separate scoops and utensils for allergen-free orders. Record all allergen-related incidents.
Cold room or freezer entrapment (larger stores)
— Fit internal release handles, alarms, and lighting. Train staff in entrapment response, check systems daily, and post emergency contacts inside. Record inspections weekly.
Customer crowding and congestion
— Mark clear queuing areas, use barriers during peak hours, and post signage for orders/collections. Train staff to manage flow, keep exits clear, and restrict occupancy when needed.
Hot surfaces and burns (toppings, coffee machines)
— Guard hot plates and topping dispensers, provide PPE gloves/aprons, and train staff in safe handling. Mark hot zones clearly and keep burn gel and stocked first-aid kits accessible.
