Importance of Safety While Cleaning
The National Restaurant Association reports that slips and falls are the largest liability for restaurants. More than 3 million employees and 1 million customers get hurt each year from slips and falls, costing the restaurant industry about $2 billion annually. That’s a lot of money! The good news is that you can reduce the risk of slips and falls and your liability by following the proper floor care techniques. It’s a multi-step process that takes time, but will improve safety and your business’s overall appearance.

- Use the Lobby Dust Pan to dispose of dirt and debris before moving on to the next section.
- Make sure you sweep areas under tables, chairs and around equipment, counters and baseboards.
