5 Safety Tips Every Restaurant Employee Should Know

4/21/2019

Picture
There are safety risks present in a restaurant due to sharp kitchen equipment, open flames, tight spaces, and a burning oven. It is essential to recognize these hazards to keep your establishment safe for employees as well as the customers.

Training your employees on how to operate equipment, prevent fires and frequent injuries, may ensure that your restaurant is operating safely for everyone.
​
Here are some safety tips employees should remember:
​Follow Restaurant Safety Procedures
To maintain a safe space for you and your fellow employee, you must follow the establishment’s safety procedures. Employers usually provide orientation and training to the employees to ensure that they are well aware of the restaurant situation and to avoid the unnecessary incident.

Operate Restaurant Equipment With Caution
Part of being safe in the restaurant is knowing how to use kitchen equipment accordingly. Doing so ensures that misused or faulty machines do not cause an emergency in the establishment.
  • Use equipment properly by reading manufacturer’s instruction.
  • Keep electrical appliances away from wet areas to avoid electrocuting yourself.
  • Have your appliance checked regularly to prevent appliance failure and do not attempt to fix broken machines by yourself.

Practice Fire Safety Equipment
The kitchen is susceptible to fire due to fast-paced movements of employees and often use of equipment. Making sure that kitchen staff is alert when a particular incident occurs can be crucial in preventing kitchen fire. There are some ways to keep your kitchen from the fire.
  • Install fire safety equipment in the establishment. Have multiple fire extinguishers not only in the kitchen but as well as the entire building.
  • Install emergency lights and exit signs in your establishment

Implement Fire Safety Procedures
  • Flammable objects should be kept away from flames. Do not keep towels near your cooking equipment.
  • Ensure that your employees know to appropriately use a fire extinguisher.
  • Have an evacuation plan and keep it posted in the building.

Prevent Restaurant Injuries
Many of the workplace injuries can be avoided with the proper restaurant safety procedures. Here are some wounds that can happen and how to prevent them.

Lacerations and Punctures
Staff should transport knives carefully around the kitchen and should be focused solely on navigating the blade to avoid accidentally cutting their fingers. When picking up broken glass, they should wear safety gloves to prevent cuts.

Burns
They should often use mitts or pot holders when handling hot objects to avoid having degree burns.

Eye Injury
During cooking, oil may splash from the pan and to staff’s eyes. Cleaning with toxic detergents can be harmful to the eye. Employees should be cautious in dealing with their workplace and should wear safety glasses if necessary.

A busy restaurant is prone to one or two accident a day no matter how careful the employees can be. Keeping your place safe keeps your staff efficient and operational. Having a first aid kit in your place is a good thing but having insurance for your employees in case of major accidents occur is a great way as well.

I think it's helpful that you mentioned how having fire safety equipment in every part of a building can help prevent fires. My wife has been planning on opening a digital marketing business this summer and needs to find a way to keep her employees safe since they would have to take an elevator in order to evacuate the building from the top floor. Maybe she should have some safety measures in place so that every floor of the building is safe.

It captured me the most when you discussed that manufacturer’s instructions must be read to use the restaurant equipment safely. My friend is opening her restaurant soon, but she has no equipment yet. I think she should turn to a supplier that provides high-quality restaurant equipment to ensure the success of her restaurant.

Thanks so much for the tips on how to prevent an accidental fire in a restaurant setting. My cousin's husband owns a restaurant and he wants to get his fire protection system updated. We've been looking into finding a company who can help him properly install a new one.
