Restaurant OSHA Safety and Security: The Book of Restaurant Industry Standards & Best Practices

No one heads to work at the restaurant down the street expecting to get maimed by a piece of kitchen equipment. No one takes family and friends out for dinner planning to spend the night in the emergency room waiting to hear whether the surgeon can reattach their child's fingers. And, no one goes to any restaurant expecting to Eat Lunch and Die! And no restaurant employee goes into work expecting to lose life or limb.

Unfortunately, these things happen every day-many times a day-in restaurants of all types and sizes across America. In fact, every year, thousands of employees and customers die in restaurants; millions more are being injured, harmed, sickened, or maimed. Before this calendar year is out, thousands will be dead, tens of thousands injured, and more than 90,000 people a day will become sickened from ingesting restaurant foods and beverages. The majority of these incidents could have been prevented with Restaurant OSHA Safety and Security and restaurant industry standards in place.
