Typical hazards & measures
- Cross-contamination of food — Separate raw and ready-to-eat foods with coded storage and boards. Train handwashing between tasks, disinfect prep areas, and keep raw meat below ready-to-eat foods in fridges. Conduct daily HACCP monitoring.
- Slippery floors in compact kitchens — Keep non-slip flooring, use spill kits, and provide non-slip footwear. Conduct hourly checks, especially near sinks/fryers. Place absorbent mats at entrances and back doors where water or grease can be tracked in.
- High-speed service stress on staff — Rotate tasks to prevent fatigue, provide short breaks, and use team briefings. Schedule extra staff at peak hours, train in time management, and support wellbeing checks.
- Takeaway packaging storage and use — Store packaging away from heat and chemicals, stack securely, and keep dry. Train staff to assemble safely, and avoid overfilling orders. Provide lidded bins and recycle where possible.
- Chemical use in front and back areas — Store cleaning chemicals locked and labelled, separate from food. Use correct dilution and PPE. Avoid cleaning during service. Provide spill kits and eyewash stations and train staff in response.
