Safety
The health and safety of team members, guests, and Company partners on
Company property is of critical concern to BJ’s. We must attain the highest
possible level of safety in all activities and operations in order to comply
with all health and safety laws applicable to our business.
The Company must rely upon our team members to ensure that work areas
are kept safe and free of hazardous conditions. Team members should be
conscientious about workplace safety, including proper operating methods
and known dangerous conditions or hazards. Team members should report
any unsafe conditions or potential hazards to a supervisor immediately.
Any work place injury, accident, or illness must be reported to your
supervisor as soon as possible, regardless of the severity of the injury or
accident. If medical attention is required immediately, supervisors will assist
team members in their medical care, after which the details of the injury or
accident must be reported to the Risk Management department by your
supervisor.
Security
The security of all team members is very important to our Company. BJ’s
strives to make all team members aware of potential safety and security
issues. It is very important that we are all aware of our surroundings in order
to protect each other at all times from a potentially bad situation. Please take
the following steps to enhance your security
• Be alert at all times when walking to and from your restaurant.
• Always take your apron off prior to leaving the restaurant.

leaving during non-business hours.
• Always be aware of who is in the restaurant late at night, as well as during
non-business hours.

suspicious about anyone or anything on the premises.
