Effective anti-slip solutions for co-cooking spaces
With an increased risk of running a loss during Malaysia’s MCO and EMCO periods, many F&B businesses have closed up shop because of low foot traffic to their physical restaurants or stores. However, a resilient few have taken on new ventures into Cloud Kitchens. Cloud Kitchens (also known as Ghost Kitchens to the less superstitious) are the way to go for F&B businesses looking to lower rental costs. A shared kitchen space with a set delivery partner allows teams to focus on cooking and scheduling deliveries. Therefore, you’re likely to see a kitchen shared between upscaling home businesses and franchises.
A kitchen is still a kitchen. And when teams of varying experiences with adequate F&B workplace safety share a space, you have to ensure a safety-guaranteed premise.
Cloud Kitchen owners and managers should take extra precautions when keeping the workplace safe from slip and fall accidents for their tenants. The main culprit of (sometimes near-fatal) slip injuries is a slippery surface. This is especially so when kitchens don’t lay down anti-slip mats or enforce to use of anti-slip rubber shoes.
Slips happen when there’s too little friction between footwear and surfaces. Water, oil, and food can splash on the surface at any time creating a real hazard for workplace safety.
Your busy kitchens during rush hour mean chefs and cooks will be speeding through the workroom carrying objects. Ideally, cooks and chefs should not be zooming around carrying heavy objects. The speed makes a person not able to correct their balance, while heavy objects would obstruct their view entirely.
During peak hours, like lunch time, many kitchen teams are forced to speed through the workplace while carrying heavy objects. Chef and cooks move and walk faster during the peak period. Slip and fall accidents can happen during this period if the floor is slippery, wet and oily.
Injuries from slips, trips and falls are the second most common type of issues kitchen staff face.
Unfortunately, workplace slip and fall accidents are so common that they go underreported by news portals in Malaysia. This leads to normalising these accidents when steps should be taken to keep kitchen staff safe from workplace injuries.
Oil spills, wet floors, stray fallen food, and a shift in balance is all it takes to send a cook backwards. Luckily, this team member did not accidentally hurt himself from holding or grabbing onto sharp or hot kitchen equipment.
Keep the floor safe to prevent accidents that result in serious workplace injuries.
We’re not talking about just some bumps and bruises when it comes to kitchen workplace injuries. An unlucky worker could end up grabbing a boiling pot, tipping over hot oil, or getting sliced by stray knives and other sharp utensils. Hence, the usage of anti-slip solution is an essential step needed to be taken by the owners of Cloud Kitchens.
If Cloud Kitchens don’t enforce proper workplace safety for ALL tenants, a series of unfortunate accidents are likely to happen on your premise. Accidents are not only damaging to your tenant’s team members, but also detrimental to workplace morale.
What Cloud Kitchens need is an effective, SIRIM-certified anti-slip solution that keeps workplaces safe and easy to clean.
We recommend that the best solution for a slippery kitchen floor is to coat a layer of Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating. Our solution effectively keeps the workplace safe by increasing the friction on the floors. The grainy texture gives all footwear types more grip when walking across the room- even if there’s been a spill! Not only that, but the anti-slip layer also has an antimicrobial feature that keeps bacteria or food debris from getting stuck on it in the first place. This makes it really easy to clean before and after shifts.
Already past the renovation stage? Nano-G experts use a dust-free, noise-free, and fast application process that doesn’t interfere with the workday. The anti-slip solution we use is also non-toxic and safe to be applied even when tenants are around in the cloud kitchens.
