fires. Generally caused by mishandling of fuel & heat.
extractor ventilator

examines how workers interact with their work environment. Influences safety.
Four types of workplace violence:
Criminal intent, worker-on-worker, customer/client, personal relationship.
the Food Code
It is a reference document for regulatory agencies responsible for overseeing food safety in retail outlets. Is the FDA’s best advise for a system of regulation to ensure that food is safe and properly protected.

Rack conveyor
Type of dish machine with conveyor. Have 2-3 tanks, pre wash, power-wash, power rinse if 3 tanks.
Flight-type continuous conveyor
