The Importance of Safety in Your Restaurant<\/h2>\n

A recent study, which surveyed \u201c800 restaurant owners, managers, and leaders,\u201d was put out by the folks at Toast and identified some interesting statistics about the state of the industry today. One stat that stood out in particular was around restaurant safety. In the report it was revealed that 52% of respondents do not offer safety training to their employees. In an industry that sees so many injuries<\/a>, restaurant owners can\u2019t afford to take safety lightly and must therefore understand the importance of safety in your restaurant. Here, we\u2019ll help you understand the importance of safety training for your employees and how easy it is to implement it.<\/p>\n

As a small business owner, you may already believe your employees are your most valuable asset. Without them, you wouldn\u2019t have a business. But because in addition to running a business and managing a staff of people you\u2019re also responsible for meeting customer demands and handling sometimes unpredictable drama, it\u2019s not uncommon for safety to be overlooked. Workplace safety isn\u2019t just about pleasing an inspector when they come to visit, it\u2019s about caring for your employees on a personal level, and them caring about their own safety and that of others. Your business is only as successful as its employees make it, so you need them to know they are working in a safe environment. You also need to reduce the frequency of injuries and accidents by focusing on preventative measures to keep everyone out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has said that \u201can effective safety and health program can save $4 to $6 for every $1 invested.\u201d This reduction in illnesses, injuries, and fatalities is an obvious benefit to you, your employees, and your bottom line.<\/p>\n

Working in a kitchen or dining room poses a plethora of hazards, including burns, cuts, slips, and sprains. Because this industry is so fast-paced and time-sensitive, you need to have specific safety measures in place to reduce the chances of these injuries to your staff (and even customers). Define the areas of your business that pose the greatest possible risk to your employees. Think about things such as high temperatures and loud noises in the kitchen area, equipment that will cause bodily harm if used incorrectly. Implementing an occupational health and safety management system<\/a> which \u201cincludes health and safety policies, systems, standards, and records, and involves incorporating your health and safety activities and program into your other business processes\u201d can mitigate the risks posed to your employees. And depending on the size of your work force, you should have a formal or informal health and safety program<\/a> in place that \u201c[ensures] workers are protected, risks are minimized, and a healthy and safe workplace is maintained.\u201d<\/p>\n

The obvious things you should be doing at your restaurant include properly training your employees on safety measures, making sure your entire staff knows how to operate equipment the right way, understanding fire safety and how to react in the event one occurs, providing everyone with safety gear.<\/p>\n
