    Review employees' performance in part on how well they follow safety measures. Praise and reward those individuals who:

    • Wear gloves when cleaning knives or using a meat-slicer.

    • Choose the right knife for the job.

    • Use scoops, not glasses, to dispense ice.

    • Wear appropriate, slip-resistant shoes.

    • Tie back hair.

    • Avoid sticking hands in the trash, as there could be broken glass.

    • Dispose of broken glass in special containers.

    • Avoid wearing dangling jewelry or rings.

    • Clean up spills of food or beverages immediately.

    • Use "wet floor" signs when appropriate.

    • Climb on ladders, not boxes or other items.
