Common hazards that workers in this industry are exposed to include:

1. Long hours standing
2. Lifting heavy objects
3. Moving heavy objects

1. Anti-fatigue & anti-slip environment: Good quality anti-fatigue and anti-slip flooring in your food preparation areas and behind bars will reduce the risk of falls, and make work more comfortable for your workers who stand for long periods.
2. Use PPE: It’s hard to avoid the use of knives in food preparation. In some circumstances, cut-resistant gloves can be used to add some protection
3. Proper electric circuitry: Cleaners frequently suffer electric shocks from damaged on vacuum cleaners. Make sure you have a testing and tagging program, and encourage workers to promptly report any damage so it can be repaired
4. Lifting solutions: Workers servicing accommodation areas frequently suffer muscular injuries from moving heavy furniture. Use buddy system and set realistic servicing targets; a little extra time taken can pay off in reduced injuries.
