Tips
1. Maintain a clean and hygienic workplace: Ensure that all work areas, equipment, and utensils are regularly cleaned and sanitized to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of foodborne illnesses.
2. Properly store and handle ingredients: Follow OSHA guidelines for the safe storage and handling of ingredients. Keep raw meats separate from ready-to-eat foods to avoid potential contamination.
3. Ensure proper ventilation: Thai cuisine often involves the use of aromatic spices and ingredients. Adequate ventilation is important to remove any potentially harmful fumes or vapors and maintain a comfortable working environment.
4. Prevent slips, trips, and falls: Keep work areas clear of obstacles, spills, and clutter. Use non-slip mats where necessary to prevent accidents.
5. Train employees on proper lifting techniques: Thai Express may require heavy ingredient containers or equipment. Educate and train employees on proper lifting and carrying techniques to avoid strains or injuries.
6. Use personal protective equipment (PPE): Provide employees with appropriate PPE, such as gloves and aprons, to ensure their safety when handling ingredients or performing tasks that may pose a risk of injury.
7. Maintain emergency procedures: Have proper emergency procedures in place, including evacuation routes, fire extinguisher placement, and first aid kits readily available.
Remember, always refer to specific OSHA guidelines and consult with professionals to ensure that your Thai Express restaurant complies with all necessary health and safety regulations.
