People working in catering and front of house are
more likely to be injured through slips and trips than
by anything else. A few simple measures can help prevent
accidents, injuries and trauma.
Preventing accidents will help keep staff
and customers safe – and reduce risks
to your business too.
Organise the kitchen so everything has a place, and ensure there’s enough storage space for
ingredients and equipment.
Most slips happen on wet or dirty floors so
clean up liquid or food spills straight away.
Dry floors after cleaning – if this isn’t possible
use wet floor warning signs to make people aware.
Wear sensible footwear and remember employers should pay for ‘anti-slip’ footwear’ if it’s required.
Maintain your catering equipment to prevent leaks of oil, water and other liquids – and
replace when necessary.
Ensure the workplace is adequately lit and well ventilated – visibility is vital to
minimise slips and trips.
Use specialist kitchen cleaners to remove all traces of oil or food residue from floors and surfaces.
Make sure first aid kits are regularly checked and restocked.
Never allow cables or pipes to trail across the floor in the kitchen or customer areas.
Don’t forget to display your health & safety poster
and relevant safety signs.
