can be considered as hotel safety tips.
▪ Security
▪ Staff relation
▪ Checking visitors credentials
▪ Locking of doors
▪ Identification and dealing with hazards
▪ Emergency evacuation
▪ Breaks
▪ Use of equipment’s
▪Keeping spills mopped, glass swept and debris cleaned
▪Wearing of appropriate clothing, specially footwear

3. Security
Every member of staff should be aware of security, from the front desk personnel to the chefs in the
kitchen. Here are a few simple but important practices to follow when it comes to hotel security:
• Reporting of suspicious behaviors
• Handing of room keys only after the confirmation of ID
• Secrecy of guests information’s
• Making sure that prohibited areas are well monitored so that guests don’t end up where they
shouldn’t
Every guest should not be treated as a potential threat as most security measures are just common
sense. Keeping side exits locked and being vigilant at all times should minimize the chance of a
problem arising.

4. Staff Relation
Get to know the staff you work with. Even if you don’t know their names, make sure you know their
faces.Take the time to introduce yourself to someone new who has started working this will make It
easier to spot anyone that shouldn’t be there and building strong relationship with other members
of the team. Having a culture of trust and support means that everyone’s looking out for everyone
else and will be less likely to ignore a hazard that could end up causing a problem.

5. Checking visitors credentials
Checking the credentials of any people who come on-site for work, which includes
any builders, florists, temporary catering staff, wedding venues, and so forth is very
important. It should be made sure that all employees understand the protocol and
that those who come on-site know it as well.

6. Locking of doors
If someone is nipping out for a break or has to take delivery the person should
always be aware of the doors and lock them. It only takes one slip-up for someone
to access the hotel who shouldn’t be.

7. Identification and dealing with
hazards
Health and safety is the responsibility of everyone that’s working in the hotel. To ensure all guests,
visitors, and staff are safe at all times, everyone should be encouraged to spot hazards and to deal
with them quickly and effectively.

8. Emergency evacuation
Evacuation plans are designed for each floor and each scenario, so it should be
made sure that employees know the evacuation plans - stairways, elevators,
escalators, and so forth - for them to help guests leave the hotel safely in case of
fire or any emergency.

9. Breaks
Shifts at a hotel can be long and exhausting, so every employee and coworker
should be encouraged to take regular breaks. A little stretch break or a snack can
make all the difference to that employee's day.

10. Use of equipment’s
Whether it’s appliances in the kitchen or even something as simple as the vacuum
cleaners, it should be made sure that all the staffs are correctly trained on all
equipment they will be using.They should be able to spot faulty pieces of
equipment immediately and make sure it’s reported so that it can be fixed as soon
as possible.

11. Keeping spills mopped, glass swept
and debris cleaned
For the safety of everyone at the hotel, any spills, glass, or debris should be cleaned
up in order to minimize hazards. Since slips, trips, and falls are the most common
workplace accident, it’s important that spills are cleaned up immediately.

12. Wearing of appropriate clothing,
specially footwear
Slip-resistant, safe, and comfortable footwear is an absolute must for any hotel employee.
Spending all day on foot can take its toll if they aren’t wearing the appropriate footwear.The
footwear and uniforms should be comfortable, durable, and can be able to deal with
anything on their shift.
There are a lot of different job roles in a normal hotel. From cleaners and chefs to desk staff
and waiters, everyone needs to be wearing footwear that suits their specific job role. For
example, a chef will need safety shoes that are puncture-resistant but they won’t need to
look as professional as the shoes that the desk staff wears.
