First, keep in mind that any business in the state of Florida, outside of the construction and agricultural industries, is required to carry workers comp insurance if they have four or more regular employees. That includes full and part-time employees as well.
As for quick service and fast casual restaurants and chains, it’s a setting where workplace injuries may be more common than you realize. The cooks and staff working the food prep lines are dealing with hot and sharp objects, plenty of clutter, and the need to move quickly in that busy, hustle-bustle and closed quarters environment. Workplace injuries at quick casual restaurants certainly do occur frequently, all the more reason to be properly protected.
