Accidents involving knives are common in the catering industry. They usually involve
cuts to the non-knife hand and fingers but can lead to injuries on the upper arm and
torso.
Failing to practice these knife safety basics could turn one of your most-used tools
into a hazard. Always remember the basics of kitchen knife handling and safety and
be sure to train your employees on the proper usage techniques any time you
introduce a new knife into your tool set.
