How To Prevent A Workplace Injury

Ensure The Workplace Is Clean

It can be a simple thing to overlook when there is so much more that can readily cause an accident, but an unclean workplace can be just as dangerous as a poorly equipped one. Take, for instance, a work floor where a spill has taken place. An employee happens upon it, and no one has taken the time to clean it or even section it off adequately. The employee slips on the wet floor and breaks a bone on the hard floor. All of this could have been avoided had the employer committed themselves to ensure the workplace is clean. Employees can participate in this as well by maintaining a clean workstation and looking out for spills and other messes.
