Workplace Safety for the Hospitality Industry

The hospitality industry encompasses many different types of operations but not limited to hotels, motels, restaurants, country clubs, golf courses, food and beverage service, and resorts. Each operation should have a safety program to include training for employees on procedures to prevent injuries like as a result of slips and falls, exposure to harmful substances, repetitive motion, workplace violence and strains and sprains from handling materials.
