Risks of working in the catering industry

Many Poles find employment in restaurants, bars, or cafes in the UK, achieving success and developing their careers. Unfortunately, work in the catering industry often involves accidents. Typical injuries include burns, cuts, bruises, and in more serious cases – fractures or even loss of fingers.

A kitchen is a place full of movement, noise, and hot equipment, where an unfortunate incident can easily happen. Therefore, the employer has a duty to provide Health & Safety training, protective clothing, and safe, functioning equipment for work.

Employer's Responsibility

It is the duty of the owner of a catering establishment to ensure the safety of employees in accordance with Health & Safety regulations. If the accident occurred at least 50% not through your fault, you have the right to claim for personal injury compensation and reimbursement of financial losses.

Most common causes of accidents in the catering industry

• Burns from hot water or fat,
• Cuts from a knife, kitchen tool, or glass,
• Tripping on a damaged floor,
• Slipping on a wet or greasy surface.

Why is it worth fighting for compensation?

Accidents in the catering industry can lead to long-term treatment, which involves high costs and a break from paid work. This often causes serious financial problems and hinders further professional development. However, knowing your rights allows you to claim the compensation you are due and minimise the consequences of the accident.
