If there is broken glass, what do we do after we notify the teacher?

When dealing with broken glass in the kitchen or any food preparation area, the primary concern is safety. After notifying a teacher or supervisor, the most appropriate response is to take actions that ensure the area is safe for everyone.

Choosing to leave it alone or cover it with paper does not address the hazard effectively. While these actions might temporarily mitigate the risk, they do not eliminate it, and that's crucial when handling materials that can cause cuts or injuries.

Cleaning it up ourselves, however, typically requires proper tools and techniques to ensure safety, such as using a broom and dustpan instead of picking up glass pieces directly with hands, which can lead to injury. Therefore, the correct response emphasizes the importance of coordination with a responsible adult to manage the situation appropriately while maintaining a safe environment for all.

This holistic approach highlights the necessity of proper protocols in a kitchen setting to prevent accidents and injuries related to broken glass.
