Fire safety: Kitchens must have working fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and fire suppression systems in place. 6. Personal protective equipment: Employees must wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, hairnets, and aprons, to prevent contamination of food. 7. Allergen management: Restaurants must be able to identify and manage allergens in their food. 8.
