Potential hazards and ways to create a safer workplace
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, slips and falls are the most common cause of injuries in the restaurant industry. With all of the potential hazards that exist in a restaurant environment, including greasy floors and upturned corners on floor mats, restaurant operators and employees need to constantly be on the lookout for risky situations. Slips and falls not only impact someone's personal well being, but there can be costly affects for the restaurant as well, such as workers compensation or compensation for injured customers. Therefore, every possible precaution needs to be taken to ensure that your restaurant's employees and customers avoid slip and fall accidents.
