Frying tonight!

A fish and chip shop cooked up an impressive effort during the Week. They served their customers with lots of safety advice, particularly about chip pan fires. They showed videos about fire safety to their customers who were surprised at the amount of damage that can be caused by putting water on a chip pan fire. They gave out safety leaflets and also assessed workplace risks and organised an in-house course about hazard analysis

"Our message is that we all share responsibility for protecting young people at work. Employers have a duty of care and are legally responsible for the health and safety of their workers, and EU law recognises that young people need special protection. But this is also an issue for parents, for health and safety professionals, and for the education community. And ultimately, it's an issue for policymakers. We all have to work together, to make sure that young people have a safe and healthy start to their working lives."
