March See Care Share Monthly Update
In the March edition of the See Care Share Update we are putting a focus on pro-active reporting to prevent injuries, by ensuring our teams understand the difference between a hazard observation and a Near Miss. In terms of reducing incidents, we have seen an increase in cut related injuries, not just from knife cuts, so our Safety Conversation this month is on Preventing Cut Injuries, please ensure you take your teams through the Safety Conversation and that the sign off on the group training record.

We are focusing on hot beverage service this month, both from an allergen perspective and a safety perspective. We have a new process in place for the service of hot beverages where milk or milk alternatives are used, and this must be communicated to your teams using the new Food Safety Conversation below. This will ensure we are managing allergens and our customers are not put at risk. We also have an updated customer facing poster to ensure lids are put on hot drinks when being transported around our units. Please ensure all team members involved in hot beverage service are trained and the below training record card is signed off as required.
