Safety Kitchen Procedures

  1. Make sure the area is well-lighted when working.
  2. Read accompanying operational intructions before using any requirement.
  3. Wipe dry wet floors to avoid spilling or falling.
  4. Always close drawers to avoid running into them.
  5. Wash sharp knives separately to avoid possible cuts while washing.
  6. Use well padded pot holders to avoid burning your hands on the handles.
  7. Keep matches out of the reach of small children. Keep them in safe places.
  8. Get rid of cracked or chipped chinaware or glassware to avoid possible cuts.
  9. When removing skin of fruits or slicing, cut away from you and not toward you. Better still, use a cutting board.
  10. Use pans of adequate size with the amount of food to be cooked. This will avoid boiling over.
  11. Use for tongs for removing foods from hot water, hot oven and hot oil.
  12. Store knives with the blades facing one direction to avoid possible cuts.
