Staying Safe in Your Commercial Kitchen

Kitchen safety is important for a variety of reasons. Whether you are starting a new kitchen or have been working in the industry for years, these tips are sure to help you:

• Keep Your Feet on the Ground – One of the most common injuries in the kitchen is related to slipping and falling. It’s important that you have as many non-slip surfaces as possible, as well as make sure that your staff is wearing footwear that is made to be used in a kitchen environment.
• Stop Before You Chop – You’ll also find that people tend to hurt themselves around knives. Proper knife storage, quality hand protection, and standard knife training are crucial in a commercial restaurant environment.
• Don’t Let Things Heat Up – Last but not least in the triumvirate of common kitchen injuries, burns are one of the realities of kitchen safety. Small injuries will happen, but you can prevent larger burns with plenty of oven mitts, making sure that handles are not sticking out, and encouraging communication when it comes to working on the range.
