Kitchen Stewarding Indonesia

Kitchen stewards contribute a lot to any professional kitchen, and it is through their efforts that the kitchen develops a smooth and orderly flow.  Their main job is to make sure that everything in the kitchen is in order, are very clean, and are well-sanitized.  You may think that this is a very easy job to do, but you will be surprised to know that there are also a lot of risks and hazards when it comes to working in a kitchen.  For this reason, here are some kitchen safety tips and advices that the kitchen steward should take into consideration.

When it comes to the ovens as well as the kitchen ranges, the kitchen steward should make sure that the ovens are clean and are grease-free.  The same goes for the stove top.  He has to maintain its cleanliness, making sure that they are cleaned thoroughly each and every time they are used and ensuring that no harmful cleaning products were used on the stoves and ovens.  He also has to see to it that there are no grease stains or oil stains as these can easily catch fire.

When it comes to kitchen appliances, the kitchen steward has to make sure that the electrical cords are secured, not dangling anywhere, and are kept safe and away from countertops and tabletops.  He also has to see to it that the electrical cords are covered so as not to trip anybody, causing damage and injury.  Likewise, the kitchen appliances should also be kept clean and free from any grease and oil stains.  As stated above, oil and grease stains can easily catch fire.

Keep the kitchen floors clean and dry so as to avoid any untoward accidents like slips, skids, and falls.  If there are puddles of water, mop it up quickly.  It is also recommended that you put a “wet floor” sign over the area so as to warn others that the floor is wet and is slippery.

Always keep in mind that the stoves and ovens are hot, and that if you are going to clean up some spills, be sure to do it carefully so as not to burn yourself.  It is good to quickly wipe up a spill on a stove so as to avoid stains that are hard to remove, but it is better if you are careful in doing so.  This way, you avoid injuring yourself.

At the end of the day, the kitchen steward also has to see to it that all kitchen appliances are unplugged, stoves and ovens are turned off, cabinets and drawers are shut tight, and freezers and refrigerators are kept at the right temperature.
