Typical hazards & measures
- Hot surfaces and steam — Position ovens, grills, and steamers behind barriers. Provide gloves, aprons, and training for safe handling. Purge steam before lifting lids, and schedule maintenance on thermostats.
- 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.
- 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.
- Outdoor queuing areas — Provide queue markers, barriers, and lighting. Keep pavements clear, slip-resistant, and sheltered from rain. Train staff to monitor outdoor lines and manage capacity during peak demand.
