Typical hazards & measures
- Fire hazards in compact kitchens — Fit suppression systems and maintain extinguishers. Keep hoods and ducts cleaned to schedule. Train staff to never leave fryers unattended. Test alarms and run fire drills regularly.
- 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.
- Sharp utensils and cutting tools — Store knives safely in racks, keep sharp, and provide colour-coded boards. Train in claw grip and safe carrying. Remove damaged blades, and provide cut-resistant gloves for deboning or butchery.
- Delivery driver and courier access — Designate courier zones away from queues, with shelving for sealed orders. Verify IDs, keep pickup logs, and manage vehicle access. Light and signpost access points, and restrict kitchen entry.
- 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.
