1. Rubbish on the Ground

By applying Elimination, we can remove the rubbish scattered on the floor that may
causes some serious injuries if neglected.

By applying Administrative Control, we can put the signage that indicate the Hazzard,
which is Chemical Hazzard. In this case we can avoid or minimize possible workplace
Hazard that may occurred.

By applying Engineering Control, we can put back the guarding of machine to it’s proper
distinction. In that way, we can prevent Hazzard at the workplace.
4. Water on the floor( slips/ trips)

floor or slippery. The people of the vicinity will recognize it easily and avoid serious
Hazzard.

place and arrange it Evenly in order to prevent unnecessary Hazzard.
6. Person Walking in front of Forklift

avoid unexpected Hazzard. We can also conduct proper Orientation to the workers twice
a week if necessary, this benefit them to be knowledgeable in different danger they may
face at work if they don’t pay attention.

By applying Elimination, we can remove those pallets Blocking the Fire Exit and place
them in suitable place such as Warehouse or Storage. In case Disasters or Unexpected
