Clear paths and gaps are set out
around the main areas of the
canteen where there is no furniture
to reduce risk when walking
through
Signs are prominent telling people
to alert a member of staff of any
spillages so it can be cleared up
immediately.
Hot drinks are sold with covers and
lids as well as in cups that are
designed to reduce the heat they
give off.
Students/staff are encouraged to
walk to the left to avoid collisions
and congestion.
