Manual Handling and Kitchen Injuries
Hospitality staff often engage in lifting, carrying, or repetitive tasks, increasing the risk of back injuries, strains, and hand lacerations from sharp equipment or broken glass.

Slips, Trips, and Falls
Fast-paced, high-traffic environments can make slips and trips more common, potentially resulting in injuries to staff, customers, or visitors, and increasing the risk of liability claims.

Theft (Internal and External)
Cash, liquor, stock, and business equipment are frequent targets for theft. There can also be concern around employee dishonesty, including fraud or misappropriation of funds.
