Thousands of workplace kitchen accidents which cause injuries to employees happen every year. Some are due to unfortunate accidents and happen as a result of the employees own fault. However, many are due to employer negligence and can be avoided if full health and safety policies are adhered to by all employers and employees.

Many people are injured in the work kitchen through no fault of their own. This can be due to other workers leaving equipment lying around the kitchen causing a trip hazard, leaving wet and slippery floors causing a slip hazard or leaving knives and other sharp tools on the side, which could cut someone, which should be put away in a knife rack or drawer.

Drainage in the kitchens can cause problems if the drains become blocked due to excess food or rubbish being on the floor and getting brushed into the drain. Drains should be regularly inspected to ensure they are clear.

If any accident in the works kitchen happens, it should be reported to management and logged in the accident book.

To claim for being injured in the work kitchen, the injury must not have been your own fault and the injury must be sufficient to require medical attention from a doctor.
