It also covers equipment cleanliness for grills, ovens, fryers, steamers, kettles, and mixers, plus organization of shelves and workstations. General safety items include PPE use, hair restraints, slip resistant shoes, MSDS records, obstruction free electrical boxes, and facility upkeep such as ceiling vents, tile and grout, and wall condition.
