Work Environment 

In a kitchen, you are at risk of slips, trips and falls when you are: 

  • walking on slippery floors
  • working in a cluttered area
  • going up and down steps
Hot working conditions may also lead to heat stress, especially when there is poor ventilation. 

Things you can do to minimise the risk. 

  • Ask for floor cleaning products that remove oil and grease.
  • Mop up spills straight away.
  • Go into the kitchen only when necessary
  • Keep walkways clear of clutter.
  • Ask for rest breaks and spend them in a cool area. Drink plenty of water.
  • Wear non-slip shoes.
