Typical hazards & measures
- Hot surfaces and burns — Guard hot plates and pans, mark “hot zones” visibly, and provide PPE gloves/aprons. Train staff to avoid overfilling pans, place hot items on stable surfaces, and keep first-aid kits stocked with burn gel.
- Lighting for evening markets — Fit portable LED lights in prep and service zones, test emergency lighting, and check batteries before each event. Illuminate customer areas to prevent slips/trips, and record inspections.
- Sharp utensils and knives — Store knives in racks/blocks, keep blades sharp to reduce accidents, and colour-code cutting boards. Train staff in safe cutting and carrying practices, and supply cut-resistant gloves where needed.
- Allergen management in high-volume service — Maintain allergen matrix, label menus clearly, and train staff to use scripted responses. Segregate utensils for allergen-free prep, clean stations between uses, and log allergen-related requests or incidents.
- Portable generator hazards — Place generators outside in ventilated areas, fit CO detectors nearby, and use UN-approved fuel containers. Train staff in refuelling only when cool, maintain weekly logs, and keep extinguishers and spill kits accessible.
