OSHA Restaurant Safety: Understanding the Standards
Safety should be a priority for everyone working in the restaurant, bar, and hospitality industry.
However, restaurant safety can be complicated.
Managers must deal with employees, customers, equipment, food, beverages, chemicals, security, and constantly changing working conditions.
Then there is OSHA.
Understanding OSHA restaurant safety can be difficult because OSHA does not have one category containing every rule and standard that may apply to restaurants.
That does not mean OSHA should be ignored.
Understanding OSHA Restaurant Safety
Restaurants generally fall under OSHA’s General Industry standards.
Depending on the operation, OSHA requirements may address hazards involving slips and falls, burns, chemicals, electrical equipment, machinery, personal protective equipment, and other workplace conditions.
Restaurant owners and managers need to understand which requirements apply to their employees and operations.
They also need to recognize hazards before someone gets hurt.
Restaurant OSHA Safety and Industry Standards
Howard Cannon wrote Restaurant OSHA Safety and Security: The Book of Restaurant Industry Standards & Best Practices to make these subjects easier to understand within the restaurant environment.
The book examines OSHA restaurant safety alongside restaurant industry standards and best practices.
Topics include restaurant safety, health, security, employee training, management practices, recognized hazards, and risk management.
The goal is simple:
Make restaurant safety easier to understand before an incident happens.
