Typical hazards & measures
Unsuitable clothing (loose sleeves, sandals)

Gas appliances
— Regularly inspect and maintain all gas stoves and ovens, ensuring safe ignition and shut-off. Install and test carbon monoxide detectors. Teach participants how to detect gas leaks, operate appliances safely, and respond to emergencies. Restrict gas-related repairs and adjustments to trained staff only.
Slips and trips
— Clean spills immediately and use non-slip mats where necessary. Ensure all pathways are clear of obstructions, including cables, bags, or loose equipment. Supervise the movement of participants, especially when carrying hot items or sharp tools to prevent accidents.
Improper ventilation
— Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated, particularly when using gas stoves or cooking with high heat. Open windows or use fans to circulate air, preventing the buildup of heat or harmful fumes. Explain the importance of maintaining good airflow during cooking activities.
Chemical safety in kitchens
— Store all cleaning products in clearly labeled containers, separate from food preparation areas. Train participants on safe handling and correct PPE use when necessary. Emphasize the importance of never mixing chemicals and keeping them out of reach when cooking is in progress.
