Typical hazards & measures
- Handling live seafood (crabs, lobsters, shellfish) — Train staff in safe handling, use protective gloves, and maintain tanks with secure lids. Provide first-aid treatment protocols for bites or pinches and log all incidents. Clean tanks weekly and monitor water quality daily.
- Customer parking and vehicle hazards — Mark parking bays clearly, provide lighting and CCTV in customer areas, and separate delivery and customer zones where possible. Grit icy surfaces, inspect weekly for hazards, and provide signage for safe entry/exit flows.
- Pest control (rodents, flies, seagulls) — Seal entry points, store seafood in sealed containers, and contract pest control with monitoring logs. Quarantine contaminated stock, clean daily, and dispose of waste promptly in lidded bins.
- Slips, trips, and falls on wet floors — Fit textured, anti-slip flooring, clean water/ice immediately, and place mats at high-traffic zones. Post wet-floor signage, inspect hourly, and provide staff with slip-resistant boots. Maintain logs of cleaning.
- Staff fatigue and repetitive strain — Rotate staff between cutting, serving, and cleaning tasks, enforce scheduled breaks, and monitor overtime. Provide ergonomic mats in prep zones and ensure hydration during shifts.
