Preparing and consuming meals

People with physical disability are able to independently prepare and enjoy food and drink in the workplace with aids and support.

Individual supports that a person may use in both their home and the workplace include:

• knives—ergonomic
• utensil handles 
• crockery and cutlery—adaptive

Other items that may assist a person when preparing food either for themselves or as part of their work role include:

• scissors—ergonomic and spring loaded
• cake decorating syringes that use plunges
• jar openers
• Lazy-Susan carousels
• table mats—non-slip
• vegetable boards—modified
• taps—lever taps
• tap turners
• traymobiles—height adjustable

There are also aids and supports for personal hygiene that assist people to use safe hygiene practices when preparing food as part of their job role, such as a kitchen hand or cook.
