WORKPLACE SAFETY
WHAT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES?

Follow your employer's safety and health rules and wear or use all required gear and equipment.
Follow safe work practices for your job, as directed by your employer and/or supervisor. Working safely may slow you down,
but ignoring safe work procedures is a fast track to injury. There are hazards in every workplace, and recognizing and dealing
with them correctly may save your life or prevent serious injury.
Ask questions! Ask for workplace training if it is not offered. Ask how to deal with irate customers or how to perform a new
task or use a new machine. Don't worry about looking ignorant. Asking questions will help you stay safe.
Tell your supervisor, boss, parent, or other adult if you feel threatened or endangered at work. If your employer does not
address your concerns, report hazardous conditions to OSHA or your state labor offices.
Be aware of your environment at all times. Be careful. It's easy to get careless after your tasks have become predictable and
routine. But remember, you're not indestructible.
Be involved in establishing or improving your worksite safety and health program.
Trust your instincts. If someone asks you to do something that feels unsafe or makes you uncomfortable, check with your
supervisor or safety officer before doing the task. Keeping yourself safe is your first responsibility.
Stay sober. In order to work, you must remain drug free. Workers using alcohol or other drugs are more likely to get hurt or
hurt others. If you suspect someone at your work is using, tell your supervisor.
Find out your workplace emergency procedures for: tornado, fire, robbery, suspicious persons, etc.

What is OSHA? What is its purpose?

OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This was made for the purpose of protecting both
the employee and employer in the workplace. This assures safe and healthy working conditions for employees by
setting rules and standards along with providing special training and education for the workplace.
CHILD LABOR

List 5 facts from the Child Labor Summary Sheet.

The Child Labor states that minors seventeen years old and younger may not sell, take orders or accept
alcoholic beverages. If a child is fifteen years old or younger must have a work permit. Minors who are
fourteen or fifteen years old are only allowed to work three hour shifts on a school ay and eight hour
shifts on a non-school day. They may not exceed working eighteen hours during a school week, or
working more than forty hours on a non-school week. If you are under the age of eighteen you may not
work in manufacturing store explosives, using power-driven hoisting apparatus, or preform jobs that
include roofing. This also means a minor aged fourteen to seventeen is allowed to work as a cashier,
working in advertising, bagging and carry out customer orders, cleanup work, kitchen work, as a lifeguard
or even working on cars with precaution.
DRESS CODE Be Aware of Company Policy

At Los Bravos you are required to wear Non-slip work black work shoes, denim blue jeans or black jeans with a
shirt with the restaurants name on it. The shirt can be either a polo or a t shirt.
What safety items are required for your job?
Non-slip shoes to prevent slipping on the kitchen floors. When cleaning the workplace we are required to use gloves
to prevent chemicals landing on our skin. All employees are required to put their hair up to prevent hair falling in the
food or other parts of the workplace.

HARRASSMENT

What is harassment?
Harassment is a form of physical or verbal abuse. This is caused by aggressive pressure or intimidation.

What are the different types of harassment?

There is verbal/written, this is when a person whether its a customer, employer or coworker uses harsh
and insulting language to another. Physical Harassment is when a person either sexually touches you
inappropriately or harms you any way physically. Discrimination is also a form of harassment. This is
when a person makes another feel less in some shape or from. Any of these types of harassments should
be reported immediately.

What steps should be taken if you feel you are being harassed? If you ever feel harassed you should notify
your manager first. If that doesnt work and the person continues to harass you, you should then go to file a claim to
the EEOC.
Give an example of harassment in the workplace from current events.
For example, there was a case not too long ago where a high school worker filed a claim to the EEOC due to sexual
harassment. A coworker of hers touched her inappropriately on various occasions. She had confronted her coworker
but that did not work. She went on to telling her manager but her coworker didnt care. After filing the claim her
coworker was dismissed for the workplace.
