Supplies to Help Improve Kitchen Safety

Caterline

The number of commercial kitchens in the past decade has increased. Regardless of where the commercial kitchen is located, people need to learn more about commercial kitchen safety because incidents that usually occur in these areas can be very dangerous. The good news is that with the help of a few supplies, the risk of such incidents will be significantly reduced.

Knife blocks

People working in commercial kitchens usually need to work fast and this is when knife-related accidents can happen. Instead of taking the knife on its handle, people can grab the sharp knife by the blade. The best way to avoid such problems is to use a wood knife block.

Anti-back pain mats

Chronic back pain is a type of pain that often occurs in people who spend a long period of time in commercial kitchens. Standing and preparing food for hours certainly affects the back. If this problem is left untreated, you can expect even worse problems. By using specially designed anti-fatigue mats this issue can be solved. They give very soft cushioning for the feet and protects the back.

Knife sharpeners

If you use dull knives in the kitchen, you will need to add more pressure or use different angles to cut food. This is obviously risky. By using knife sharpeners regularly you can rest assured that the knife is sharp.

Fire extinguisher

This item is a must for every commercial kitchen. There are different classes of fire extinguishers and it is a good idea to have one of each kind for the commercial kitchen.

Protection for the hands

Everything you do in the kitchen involves your hands, so it is quite logical that the majority of injuries that happen in the kitchen are related to the hands. So, don’t forget to protect your hands and invest in a good pair of kitchen gloves!
