    Fire safety tips
    Do not attempt to fight a large or rapidly spreading fire.
    Stand -10 feet from the fire
    Sue the correct extinguisher for the type of fire.
    1. Locate the fire.
    2. If the fire is small and localized; treat with a fire extinguisher. If the fire is large, don’t risk your
    safety. Don’t attempt to fight with a fire extinguisher.
    3. Use the paging system to advise staff and guests that “there is an emergency situation and they must
    take their personal possessions and leave the building immediately”. Take the schedules with you as
    you exit. Advise everyone to walk (don’t run) to exits. Staff must not go to lockers to get personal
    belongings.
    4. Phone 911 from a phone outside the restaurant. Be prepared to give the following information:
     Your name
     Address of fire, including the nearest intersecting street
     Information about fire (how fast fire is spreading, people trapped
    5. Ensure that people are leaving the building. Do not allow anyone to go back into the building. Ensure
    that all employees are accounted for, checking against the schedules.

    6. Have staff members meet at a pre-arranged area away from the restaurant (for example, a nearby pay
    phone).
    7. Senior manager on duty should:

     Ensure everyone leaves the building.


     Provide firemen with details of the fire.
     Stay near the restaurant.
    8. Cooperate with the fire department.
    9. Contact senior management at home office.
    10. Do not re-enter building for any reason until advised by fire department that it is safe.

    Lifting and carrying

     Try to gauge the weight by tapping the item gently with your foot before lifting.
     Carry loads close to your body.
     Lift with your legs, not your back.
     Take extra trips, if necessary.
     Get help with heavy loads.
     Use dollies, carts, trays for heavy loads.
     Get regular exercise.
     Maintain good posture.
     Lose weight if necessary. The trimmer your abdomen, the safer your back.
     Do not strain to reach an item.
     Use a foot stool to reach for high items.
     Push, don’t pull.
     Store the heaviest items between knee and shoulder height.
