Health and safety hazards in hotel environments
Read this informative guide to reveal the biggest health and safety hazards in commercial hotels. Hotels are bustling environments. Whilst the front of house might seem calm, well-organised and in total control, nip behind the scenes and it's a different story, as countless staff members are busy performing housekeeping duties, working in hot kitchen settings, and generally working hard to cater for guests staying in the establishment. This presents a number of health and safety issues. Slips and trips in particular are one problem that cause accidents in commercial settings, carrying heavy bundles of laundry for example, could limit the view of staff members, and this is why a commercial chute is so useful in this type of setting. To prevent slips or trips, a proactive approach to health and safety within the workplace will minimise the risk, take precautions and take into account some of these key areas. Common Hazards in Hotels 1. Kitchen Spills Food is going to be spilt in a kitchen. This is inevitable where a large number of people are performing their duties, under pressure, and are racing against the clock to get meals to tables on time. Soups, oils and water are just some of the liquids that might be accidently spilt onto the floor. These need to be wiped up as soon as possible to prevent unsuspecting members of staff slipping and injuring themselves. 2. Shoddy or Careless Cleaning Cleaning prevents bugs and bacteria. It can also create safety hazards, especially if areas are left wet or slippery afterwards. If floors are wet for example, warning signs should be left on display. Ideally, cleaning should take place when less people are around and only approved cleaning materials should be used on flooring, the wrong types of agents could leave flooring greasy afterwards. 3. Poorly maintained flooring Lifting tiles, raised wooden flooring, carpet bulges, or rips, tears and holes in linoleum flooring could cause trips within a commercial hotel setting. Faults within flooring should be addressed as soon as they become noticeable. Get them fixed and prevent a nasty trip which could cause a painful injury. 4. Obstacles Keep the flooring around work areas free from hazards, especially in areas where there's a high traffic footfall. Staff members are often seen carrying items around hotels, their arms could be filled with stacks of towels, boxes of catering supplies, or laundry items, they could trip over obstacles, especially if objects are left out in the open. To prevent this happening, keep areas clear and use commercial solutions such as laundry chutes to minimise trip or slip potential. [Return] |
