KFC is a very quick serving restaurant with a view of serving 12 million
customers on a daily base in 135 countries with 21400 restaurants. Through the years,
KFC has lost their well-settled market because people are no becoming more
conscious about health (Schaper, 2014).

of the main risks associated with the KFC. KFC strongly employees about 35000
Australians at over 640 restaurants. The promise to support the people to be their best
selves, make a difference and have fun. They aim to do the business in a very
4

sustainable way possible. Altogether, with the achievement in the business, KFC also
faces the problems in their working environment such as KFC employee trips and
falls in the hot oil, KFC operator fined for young supervisor mistake, as well as KFC
franchise fined $6000 after workers leg burnt in cooker. This assignment is all about
the working condition of the KFC Australia organization (Probst & Cunningham,
2015).
Workplace demography
Workforce demographics differ widely from country to country, along with
favored ways of communication, available skills, and even overall income stages.
They are in about 130-plus nations, so they are the big global product that people
often do not understand that about and what they do. Each employee is from a
different country and communicates in different languages
Assessment of risk
The fast-food chain of KFC is accused over the claim of not following health
and safety rules.
Stockton-On-Tees Borough assembly is suing KFC over gaps at its Haydock
Park Outlet, at Teesside Retail Park. Kentucky fried chicken was orders to pay the
fine £ 968,700 in combined Teesside Crown Court on 19th January (Lynch, 2019).
On 23 November 2016, KFC committed two offenses under the health and
safety Act 1974, during a proceeding at Teesside magistrate’s court.
There are the risks relating to the working condition of the KFC, an employee
of the Teesside Park branch suffered serious branch to his arms and hands after
removing the hot gravy from the microwave without using the protective gloves. As
well as one of the incidents in which employee of the KFC, Wellington Square
5

restaurant in Stockton Cues serious burn to the body while removing the hot gravy
from a microwave (Hossain & Hossain, 2012).
The charges identify on 14 July 2014 are the organization unsuccessful to
guarantee that their labors were not hazarded to a danger “to their health, safety or
welfare”; and that the organization disastrous to “give guidance, training and direction
to guarantee the wellbeing and security of one of its representatives” (Salton, 2017).
Environmental Health officers from Stockton-On-Trees council investigated
the restaurant of KBC on 3 December 2015. They found that the staffs were not
having the spare protective gloves, the process was not being followed and the
company was not having a focus on their own procedure.
Councillor of Stockton-On-Tees Borough Council’s cabinet associate for
entrance, societies and public safety, believed: This is an enormous fine that guides
out a very clear communication that all food business workers have a duty to
safeguard the safety and health of their workers and gives them with appropriate
training (Rui, Huang, Lu, Wang, & Wang).
Various penalties were applied by the health and safety act, various legal
action was taken such as, KFC made a $ 15000 payment to the employee, who
returned to join after the six weeks later for light duties as well as the management
invites the person family to discuss the further professional assistance. KFC was fined
by the $2000 for the failure to cope up with standards of health and safety program
(Klan, 2017).
Magistrate Lieschke convicted the organization and fined it with $105000,
plus costs. There is much required for the changes in the working condition of the
organization (SafeWork NSW, 2019). Taking a strategic step to workplace safety
helps in making the working condition of the employees safer but also helps in the
6

reduction of the cost and achieving the benefits in the business. The company should
change there working procedure especially changed the use of oil tanks containing the
hot oil in it and should implement the safety standards (Searcey & Richtel, 2017).
The current measure that is taken by the organization is by using the interior
website just to deliver certain teaching, training, and information to the workers about
the working criteria in the organization. The website material did not report the clear
problems of where to carefully keep the big boilers or the threat of the warmth of the
oil. KFC has now altered the process worldwide, not just on the place where the
accident occurs i.e. Eastwood store, removing the use of oil tanks which carry hot
oils, also implement carious extra safety measure just to cope up with the safety
standards giving the additional information training for staff (Roberts, 2009).
KFC is testing the 3 new forms of knowledge. From which one is voice
initiated training which the organization has stared in their restaurants of U.S &
Australia.
These overall changes will help the company in achieving the positive result
of the organization environment and it will enhance the success of the organization.
These measures will help in eliminating the shortcoming that was presented in the
organization-working environment.
