 Where possible do not store chemicals in kitchens, keep them in a designated area for storing
chemicals
 Depending on the substance, the severity of the harm could range from minor to major, for example,
from minor skin irritation to chronic respiratory disease. Some chemicals may not be hazardous by all
routes of entry. For example, silica is hazardous only by inhalation so the risk assessment needs to
consider how inhalation could occur in the workplace.

The SDS may also include summaries of toxicological data, or advice or warnings for people that might be
at risk, such as
 people who are sensitised to particular chemicals
 warnings for pregnant women
 people with existing medical conditions such as asthma.

Examples may include:


 use of welding rods which may liberate hazardous fumes and vapours
 directions for use of chlorine bleach, warning that harmful levels of chlorine gas may be generated if
the substance is mixed with incompatible chemicals

Emergency procedure:

The types of disasters you include in your emergency action plan will depend, in part, on where you're located.
The risks you face locally could be earthquakes, hurricanes, or blizzards, but your planning process will be very
similar in any case. Here are a few steps to follow as you develop a plan for natural disasters:

 Protect Your People: Be clear about when to close and evacuate your restaurant. Someone on each shift
should have that authority if conditions seem likely to put staff or guests at risk. Send everyone home if
it's safe and practical to do so, or provide the option of staying put when it's not. If you're in the blizzard
zone, for example, keep a supply of blankets, flashlights, and drinking water on hand in case the weather
closes in.

 Protect Your Food: If the power goes out, your food will be at risk. Refrigerated food can stay safe
through a short outage of a few hours, but you'll need to closely monitor the temperature in your
coolers. If it's likely that power will stay out for a day or two, try to move perishables to a commercial
storage site. Alternatively, purchase a generator to run your refrigerators. If flooding is a major risk in
your area, store your perishable dry goods and paper goods up off the floor, where they're less likely to
be inundated. Floods and storms can also make your water supply unusable, so keep a stock of bottled
water on hand.

 Protect Your Records: To minimize any ongoing disruption of your business, keep copies of crucial
documents (partnership agreements, employee records, tax documents, etc.) in a secure off-site
location. Data from your inventory management system, point-of-sale, and payroll records should be
backed up as well—either to a cloud-based storage service or on a physical drive that's stored off-site.
Keeping an up-to-date inventory of your supplies and fixtures can make your life a lot easier when
you're dealing with your insurance company.

Report summary for requirements for changes for each procedure based on the results in 4.

Instance 1: Lack of emergency procedures / programs

The objective is to minimise the risk of incidents and injuries occurring at the workplace by identifying hazards
and reporting them in the affected area. We all have a responsibility to identify hazards and the University has
processes for reporting and managing them. Hazards are managed as follows (also see "Completing the Hazard
Report Form" flowchart (below):

1. If you are unable to safely apply reliable control measures you should seek assistance by reporting
hazards to the affected area Supervisor and/or the local Health and Safety Representative who will
assess them to determine urgency and how the hazard can be controlled.

Instance 2: Any equipment is damaged or defective in any way

Person completing the hazard and incident report

 The report must be completed by the person involved in the incident or the person reporting the hazard
whether they are staff, students, contractors or visitors;

 Where this is not possible, it is the responsibility of the supervisor of the person/area/activity to complete the
report;

 Otherwise anyone may complete the report.

Hazard and incident reports containing issues of a confidential nature, e.g. stress-related or unacceptable
behaviour, are automatically forwarded to the Manager, OH&S, bypassing any party as necessary.

Comprehensive reports, photographs, diagrams and video footage can be attached as required.

Instance 3: Chemicals are stored in the kitchen area

Employees also have duties. They must:

 Co-operate with their employer e.g. follow procedures.


 Make full and proper use of control measures e.g. using extract ventilation where provided, and report
any defects.
 Report any defects in plant/ equipment immediately to the employer as appropriate.
 Report any accident or incident which may have resulted in the release of a dangerous
chemical/substance into the workplace.

• Minor/no risk (risk score 1-2) – is acceptable. No further action on risk control measures is necessary
• Moderate risk (risk score 3-4) - indicates conditional acceptability. Further risk control measures should be considered and existing controls monitored
• Major risk (risk score 5-6) - indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls and measures must be developed and implemented in the short to medium term
• Catastrophic risk (risk score 7-16) - indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls must be immediately implemented or the risk eliminated (i.e. cease activity)
