Restaurant employers and staff know the industry's stance on safety all too well. Frantic peak times where patrons never seem to stop entering the establishment may often mean protocol is tossed to the wayside, but it's time that changed. ThinkSafe Training, LLC helps to foster a culture of safety among your employees that not only facilitates a healthier and more engaged workforce, but aid in an increase of the financial returns as well.

Benefit from Our Restaurant Workplace Training & Development 

According to OSHA, employers that invest in workplace safety and health can expect to reduce fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. This will result in cost savings in a variety of areas:

• Lowering workers' compensation costs 
• Lowering medical expenses
• Avoiding OSHA penalties,
• Reducing costs to train replacement employees
• Reducing costs to conduct accident investigations.

In addition, employers often find that changes made to improve workplace safety and health can result in significant improvements to their organization's productivity and financial performance.

Kitchens and dining rooms can bring about a myriad of potential concerns. A joint study produced by the Labor Occupational Health Program and Young Workers United found that 1 in every 3 restaurant injuries are either sprains or musculoskeletal disorders. Other accidents waiting to happen include burns, cuts, slip and falls, as well as chemical exposures.

Fast-paced, time-sensitive work environments should have specific safety controls in place to reduce the chance of an injury - especially a preventable one. A safety manager should focus on the following three areas when evaluating his or her restaurant's safety culture:

• Safety threats: What are some pieces of equipment or daily tasks that cause instant injury if used or done incorrectly? This includes slippery floors or physical harm. Burns are a common injury.
• Ergonomic hazards: Which repetitive tasks could cause strains over time? Heavy lifting and rote preparation work are a few to watch out for.
• Health dangers: Are you allowing employees to work with illnesses? Stress, high temperatures in the kitchen area and consistent loud noises could also be causes for concern.
• Customer Etiquette:  How well is your employee’s interaction with customers?  Other employees? Are they maximizing their opportunity to create/maintain repeat customers?

ThinkSafe Training, LLC in conjunction with Ownership/Management, help create a Workforce Development training system that includes Safety and Health management. Our system creates a custom program that fits the needs of the individual Restaurant.  Blended course gives the end-user the flexibility of not always having to congregate all employees in one place at one time for every course. Our Smart Phone interactive courses help keep the user engaged and increases information retention. Optional classroom instruction courses are limited to already scheduled training dates by the Restaurant.  We take the hassle of having to manage this work load off your hands allowing companies to focus on all the other aspects of the work place. Routine training allows staff to take on more of the responsibility, and we offer Development systems that are compliant and updated regularly. Our professionals can deliver safety training, assist with safety committees and meetings, and serve as your trusted resource for ongoing safety advice.
