Potential hazards are rampant in almost every workplace environment.

How to prevent injury and illness in the workplace

How to implement safe work practices
Safe work practices should be developed and implemented as a result of completing a Hazard Assessment and should closely reflect the activities most common in the company’s industry type or sector of work. All safe work practices and guides should be kept in a location central to the work being performed and easily visible and readily available to the employees. Some safe work practices will require specifically outlined job procedures, which clearly reflect a set of steps and order of the way a job must be carried through.
