Manual handling include carrying, lifting, pushing,
and other manual handling maneuvers can, if not
done safely, seriously harm the body’s
musculoskeletal system. The Health and Safety
Executive reports that over 30% of food and drink
industry injuries are mainly musculoskeletal injuries
caused by manual handling.
Examples of manual handling include (1) Lifting
boxes and crates of food, (2) Pushing or pulling
wheeled racks (such as trolleys, (3) carrying pots or
stacks of plates, (4) moving equipment., (5)
handing containers of drinks (including casks and
kegs, (6) unloading food and drink deliveries, (7)
cutting , (8) deboning (meat and poultry), and (9)
reaching for items on shelves or in walk-in fridges.
To minimize manual handling hazards, you should
(1) keep the load close to your body, with the
heaviest side facing yourself, (2) get a good grip
of the load and adopt a stable position, (3) know
your limits – if a load is too strenuous, don’t push
yourself. Loads should never exceed 25kg, (4)
adopt a good posture – keep your back straight
and avoid twisting or leaning, and (5) clear away
obstacles or wet patches on the route beforehand.
Slips, trips, and falls
Kitchens often have numerous slips, trip, and fall risks
created by human error, meaning you and others need to
focus closely on proper safety practices and housekeeping.
These include (1) floor contamination, such as spillages of
water, sauces, oil, and flour., (2) wet floors from cleaning,
(3) obstructions in walkways, including trailing cables, boxes
and crates, bins, cleaning equipment, (4) uneven, worn
down, or loose flooring and (5) using a ladder to access high
pantry shelves.
Fire and Electrical Hazards

and naked flames in a kitchen. Fire and
