Can these figures be reduced? Occupational safety experts agree that providing professionals with protective equipment is essential to achieving this. 

It is clear that each professional in the sector has specific needs depending on the work they perform. This time, we are focusing on kitchen workers, for whom wearing footwear with a sole that reduces the risk of slips and falls is essential in their day-to-day work. Discover the best models of non-slip kitchen shoes that will protect your employees from potential accidents.

Main risks faced by kitchen workers  

The hospitality sector contributes 6.4% of Spain's GDP and employs 1.7 million people, according to data from Hospitality of Spain, the business organisation representing restaurants, bars, cafés and pubs. Mitigating the risks associated with the different roles within this industry is therefore key to protecting the health of a very significant proportion of the country's workers and maintaining high productivity levels. 

Specifically, these are the most common occupational risks faced by people working in kitchens:

• Cut injuries caused by working with sharp tools. 
• Skin conditions caused by contact with bacteria or viruses present in food. 
• Muscular problems caused by poor posture. 
• Psychological disorders caused by work-related stress and long working hours. 
• Burns caused by exposure to high temperatures and contact with equipment such as ovens, pans or fryers.
• Slips and falls. Damp or wet floors require non-slip kitchen shoes that reduce the risk of this type of accident.
