Work Environment
Government health and safety standards require clean and sanitary work areas. The local board of health usually is in charge of inspecting food establishments and enforcing sanitation laws. Most meatcutters work in places that are comfortable, although handling and cutting carcasses is messy, and some workers must spend their entire shift in refrigerated areas.
