Burn Prevention Education
The SafeStep™ Program
Soon after developing the proprietary products which would establish Tucker Safety Products as a leader in burn injury prevention, Vincent Tucker came to realize that these products would not achieve their intended purpose if they were not used correctly. He understood that in order to be truly and consistently effective, his products needed to be integrated into a larger, comprehensive safety program. This led him to develop and promote one of the industry's first safety awareness, evaluation and training programs which is entitled the SafeStep™ Program. The program is comprised of five steps:

1. INJURY EVALUATION
We review all past burn injuries, current practices and protective apparel being used. We then provide recommendations based on these findings.

2. KITCHEN EVALUATION
We review equipment, hot spots, traffic patterns and hazards in order to identify specific safety training needs.

3. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS
We present and explain our recommendations which will maximize safety, efficiency and offer value. Customizing products may be necessary to meet your specific image requirements.

4. TRAINING SEMINARS
We then train the managers and provide information so that they may train the employees in safe practices, safety apparel and injury prevention.

5. CONTINUING SUPPORT
Safety is an ongoing process. We continue to monitor safety performance and make procedural and material recommendations or modifications as needed. This program has helped restaurant owners to evaluate their own environments and to avoid many accidents before they occur, contributing significantly to worker morale as well as the bottom line. This program can do the same for your business, whether you manage one or one hundred plus sites.

6. LITIGATION SUPPORT
If a company subscribes to the SafeStep program and follows its entirety Tucker Safety Products, Inc. will support that company's efforts in regard to non-compliance, incorrect use of product, failure of product.
