2. How to protect visitors to the workplace from accidents stemming from

work-related activities?
- Organizations are probably already taking steps to protect their workers,
but the risk assessment will help them decide whether they should be doing
more. Employers should think about how accidents and ill health could
happen and concentrate on real risks – those that are most likely and which
will cause the most harm. For some risks, national legislation may require
particular control measures. The organization’s assessment will help identify
whether it needs to look at certain risks and these particular control
measures in more detail. Mandated control measures should be assessed as
part of the overall risk assessment.

3. How to provide an environment that is suitable to the worker's

psychological and physiological needs?
- Disburse competitive financial compensation to satisfy the physiological
part of employees' needs in the workplace. Physiological needs include
things such as food, water, shelter and clothing, all of which can be satisfied
with a reliable income. Employers offering higher compensation for the
same job titles can attract more qualified job applicants, as they expect this
first layer of needs to be satisfied more fully. Small businesses can compete
with higher-paying corporate competitors by doing better job satisfying
needs at higher levels.
