We all enjoy the smell of freshly baked goods, but did you know that flour is a hazardous substance for those being exposed to flour dust on a daily basis? Also, there are more risks involving the bakers’ duties.
These include the contact with hot surfaces or materials that can cause burns, cuts by mechanised tools and ergonomic risks due to static body positions and standing for long periods of time.
Identifying and preventing these risks is crucial to keep those who work in bakeries safe. That’s why our partners have developed several Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) tools to assist bakeries and other businesses manufacturing bread and bakery products in managing these risks successfully.
