Fire Safety Starts With You: Prevention Tips for Restaurant Workers

Every restaurant kitchen has the potential for fire danger—but with the right habits, you can help make sure it never happens.
This week’s Restaurant Employee Safety Training video focuses on one simple truth:
Fire prevention begins before there’s ever a flame.
From overloaded outlets to greasy vents, the little things we ignore can lead to major risks. In this short animated video, our restaurant safety hero (she’s smart, fast, and takes safety seriously!) shows team members how to:
-
Spot electrical hazards before they spark
-
Prevent grease fires through proper cleaning
-
Keep equipment in safe working order
-
Follow safe storage and handling practices for flammable items
Fire emergencies don’t give you a warning—but prevention does.
