hazards, and identify the steps to be taken to
deal with any risks.

such as:
 Dishwashing gloves Cut-resistant gloves Freezer gloves

b. Oven Mitts
 These help prevent burns and are primarily used for
placing and removing hot items. from ovens, handling
hot plates, or dealing with other hot food or restaurant
equipment.
z
 c. Apron - Not only does this personal protective

equipment helps keep a worker's uniform clean,
but it also provides an additional barrier between
the employee's body and dangerous substances,
such as chemicals, hot grease, and oils.

d. Anti-slip shoes - The floors in a kitchen

restaurant are often slippery due to regular water
and grease spills. Wearing safety footwear helps
provide employees with better grip, assisting in
the prevention of slipping and falling.
 Slip-resistant mat - It is ideal for kitchen floors or other
z
high traffic areas in the restaurant where there is a
greater possibility for slips and falls (i.e. from
entrance/exit). This rubber mat, not only offer better foot
grip but also provide a softer and more comfortable
walking surface that gives the feet, knees, and other
joints better protection from strains and other similar
injuries.
