Venomous spider bite (e.g., Black Widow / Brown Recluse) Action: Wash with soap and water, apply a cold pack to reduce pain and swelling, elevate the area, and seek emergency care. Take a photo of the spider for identification if safe to do so. Do any venomous spiders live in your area? We have the brown recluse in Indiana.

I have worked at 3 restaurants in the past. I often wondered what I could do to help myself if I got trapped in the walk-in freezer. Here's what to do: Action: Locate the emergency brass release knob on the inside of the door and push/unscrew it. Keep moving to generate body heat; stack dry cardboard boxes on the floor to insulate your feet. Have you ever worked in a restaurant with a walk-in freezer?

Escalator shoe or garment catch Action: Yell for someone to hit the Emergency Stop button at the top or bottom of the escalator. Pull your foot out of the shoe rather than trying to pull the shoe free. Do you ever need to ride on an escalator?
