How can employees prevent slips and falls in food handling areas?

Maintaining clean and dry floors is essential in food handling areas to prevent slips and falls. Spills, debris, or any kind of residue on the floor can create hazardous conditions that increase the risk of accidents. Regularly cleaning and promptly addressing any spills help create a safer working environment for employees. Furthermore, ensuring that floors are dry minimizes the chance of slipping, which is particularly important in areas where food is handled, as it not only protects the employees but also ensures the integrity of the food safety standards.

In contrast, making floors slippery or ignoring spills increases hazards, while wearing heavy boots may not address the underlying issues of cleanliness and maintenance, and instead, could create discomfort or fatigue without improving safety.
