A 3:28 minute OSHA video on preventing trips, slips and falls in the restaurant industry.

I introduce this video by saying that ,statistically, restaurants are hazardous places to work , and this video will point out a few of the dangers inherent in restaurant work, and techniques to help minimize the danger.  On the board, I've posted a few questions.

After the video concludes, I ask students chosen at random:

1.  What areas of a restaurant are particularly hazardous, and why?

Answer: In the kitchen because of the hot stoves, sharp knives and narrow walkways and by the ice-maker because of frequent spills

2. Who made the video?

Answer. - OSHA, which I point out to the students, will be one of the Government safety agencies that we'll be studying in this unit.
