Managing Risks Assignment with Starbucks (GC01147)

Unit 1: LO 4

4.1 Identify risk within your place of work

The name of my workplace is Starbucks. Starbucks is a well-known coffee shop in the UK. As a duty manager, I have been operating this coffee shop for the previous four years. Different types of risk hazards occur in my workplace including fire risk.

For each and every workplace, fire is a common risk. In Starbucks, fire is also a common risk. Thus, Starbucks has established a plan on “Fire Exit” to give safety to both customers and employees. In addition, this coffee shop has established different safety policies for both customers and employees. Moreover, it has trained different employees in fire extinguishers such as fire drills. Next, it has given knowledge to the employees on the emergency escape ways.

It is essential for the employees to recognize their responsibilities or roles in the Fire Emergency Plan when getting fire in the workplace. The essential part of each plan of “Fire Exit” in Starbucks is an essential map that provides several locations such as Fire Extinguishers’ location, Pull stations’ location, Main Gas Shutoff, Main Electric Shutoff, Main Water Shutoff. However, Fire Emergency Property Map is given by Starbucks at the front desk.

While the smoke detector is in the normal way, every few seconds it blinks red light. However, while it detects any heat or smoke it will generate the indicator area on the panel of fire control.

In addition, the duct detectors are the kind of smoke detectors that are located in the air conditioning or heating ducts. The duct detector has remote signs as the location creates it impracticable to observe the units of the detector. The duct detector will generate zone signs on the fire control panel when it is alarming. In this case, a small red light on the remote sign sparks into the solid red color while it is alarming. Finally, the pull station is the manual process that is set in the exit corridors of the guest room, generates the zone point at the fire control panel as well as creates sound in the area. Additionally, Fire Assignment Log, as well as Fire Assignment, is situated by the panel of fire control. However, fire runner radio is set at the Front Desk of Starbucks…………
