Fast Casual Pizza Injury Prevention Tips

Food service has many areas of safety from storage to cooking at correct temperatures. Most municipalities and schools cover the prevention of food contaminants and  bacteria control but even more basic to food prep is location safety.

An alert and aware staff that is trained on what to look for is your best bet. Minimally your managers should should know these basics.
1) Does everyone know to immediately handle spills by blocking the spill with a sign, chair or their body while they get help cleaning it up?

2) Does your staff know to NEVER pass hot beverages, dishes, pizza or especially soups over heads of customers?  This may seem like common sense but sadly it is not not. Make sure you tell them.

3)Are doors clearly marked for Public or authorized personnel only?

4) Are floor floor mats and carpets clean, secure and flat?

5) Are steps clearly lighted? Slip proof? Do they have proper railings? Do you have caution signs?

6)Is your sidewalk, entrance way and parking lot in good repair and well lit?

The above are just the bare bones but will go a far when implemented to prevent injuries.  You can add anything you observe to the list that will help prevent injury and then post it for all your staff to see.
