Kegs and Barrels

Safe access must always be maintained within the cellar. The climbing on kegs to change couplers or access stock is not permitted.

 There must always be a clear walk route to all beer keg couplers

 The double stacking of full kegs (11G or less) is permitted if necessary and should be one keg spanning two underneath for extra support

 30 litre European barrels that interlock may be stacked 3 high when full or empty

 Empty barrels 9,11 and 18 gallon kegs only are permitted to be double stacked with keg spanning two below for extra support

 All full kegs must be moved by 2 people except full 36 kegs which must not be moved

EXPLAIN TO THE TEAM:

 The moving of full casks or kegs in the cellar should be avoided. The Draymen are instructed to position containers so that no further movement required. Speak to the manager if you find the Draymen are not honouring this agreement.

Kitchen cleaning

Where large pieces of equipment are needed to be moved for deep cleaning the following must be considered  Disconnect the equipment from the power  Ensure equipment is cool before moving or cleaning to avoid burn injuries  Use a folded cloth or gloves to move benches as some can have folded edges that can cause cuts  Get assistance to help you move the item, we do not know the weights of some of our equipment  Heavy table mounted equipment should be moved onto another table at waist height, not to the floor
