SRM: Restaurant Sector
(Safety Record Management – SRM: Food & Beverage Sector)
Systematic Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) record management is a critical aspect of the food and beverage industry, especially for restaurants. This is essential to ensure:
✅ Full compliance with legal requirements and regulations related to food safety and workplace safety
✅ A safe working environment for chefs, servers, food delivery riders, and kitchen staff
✅ Reduction of risks such as fires, cuts, burns, slips, or cross-contamination during food handling
In a sector operating in hot kitchens, tight spaces, with open flames and sharp equipment, efficient OSH management not only ensures worker safety but also maintains service quality and the restaurant’s reputation.
SRM for the restaurant sector is specially designed for:
🍽️ Small restaurants to large franchise chains
🍜 Eateries, food stalls, food courts, or commercial kitchens
🚴♂️ In-house food delivery services
👨🍳 Catering companies, food trucks, central kitchens, and fast-food outlets
SRM helps restaurant premises to:
📂 Systematically and traceably record all aspects of employee safety and health
🔍 Provide vital data for risk monitoring, training, and food safety audit compliance
📊 Analyze incident trends, training status, and compliance with food and workplace safety standards
