Coffee safety

Ensuring safety in coffee consumption and preparation is paramount to a healthy and productive workplace environment. From the careful handling of electrical appliances to the proper storage of milk and adherence to hygiene protocols, maintaining coffee safety practices is essential.

By prioritizing precautions against potential hazards such as electrical accidents, fire risks, and contamination, workplaces can create a coffee culture that not only fosters enjoyment but also safeguards the well-being of employees. With vigilance, education, and proactive measures, coffee safety becomes an integral part of promoting overall workplace health and safety standards.

Electrical incidents contribute to 7% of workplace fatalities nationally. Ensuring safe coffee machine use, with intact power cords and plugs, is paramount to prevent accidents and fatalities in the workplace.
9% of serious workers' compensation claims in Australia are related to MSDs. Designing ergonomic coffee corners with proper machine height and anti-fatigue mats can mitigate the risk of MSDs caused by repetitive tasks.
Commercial kitchen fires, including those in coffee corners, account for approximately 8% of non-residential building fires. Prioritizing fire safety measures, such as proper machine maintenance and evacuation plans, is crucial to reduce the risk of fires in the workplace.
