Beer line cleaning chemicals contain caustic soda (strong alkali) which can harm eyes and skin especially when used in conjunction with circulation pumps and pressurised cleaning vessels. Glass soaking powders contain chlorine as the active ingrediant which can harm eyes and skin, physical contact can occur from splashing when soaking glassware in open containers or sinks. Glass washer chemicals also contain active ingredients which can injure eyes and skin especailly when handling bulk containers. Glass washers are very hot when in use and can cause steam scolding when opened immediately after a wash cycle.

Gas cylinders for beer dispense systems and post mix dispense systems generally contain C02 or C02/Nitrogen mixtures which can cause asphixiation in excessive concentrations in confined spaces. Gas cylinders must be used in an upright position, securely restrained, stored and used at room temperature.

The typical cold environment of a cool room can on occasion cause ice build up on floor and along with water used during cleaning can make cool room floors slippery especially when carrying in products to load a cool room. Incorrectly stacked kegs can cause harm and equipment damage through random toppling during positioning or when dislodged. Poor lifting techniques and practices when positioning or manovering kegs can cause physical harm in cool room and keg storage areas especially when double stacking kegs, loading in confined locations and manovering down stairwells.
