The fire risks class B are highest and most probable, with the highest damage; the requisite fire fighting equipment should be procured and staff trained.. this should be done within a fortnight at all the stations. The training will require emergency procedures, includingevacuation and treating victims. Class K fires risks should be managed by training the employees inthe kitchen, then having class K fire fighting equipment, and how to use them. The kitchens should be fitted with automatic smoke detectors; this should happen within a month. Fire alarms must be installed with the fire fighting equipment. Personal injuries due to lifting or frost bites are less severe but have a high likelihood of occurrence; PPE should be acquired for the staff and trained on their use. Rules for manual handling should also be set and workers trained to use them. Fumes from petrol and refrigerants are a low level risk but can be mitigated through regular inspections of storage tanks and refrigeration equipment RisksControl HierarchyRisk ManagementResources TimelineremarksAll firesHigh Fire fighting equipment suitable for each class (A,B,K)Financial 2 weeksUndertake yearly audits on equipmentMediumEnsure no leaks in tanks, refrigerantsTime2 weeks Quarterly inspections andauditsLowLaws (no smoking, regular inspection, switch off engines)Train employees Time2 weeksEnforce strictlyManual handling injuries and overworkHighPPEFinancial2 weeks
