 Introduction

Workplace safety is important because hazard is present everywhere. 

Some are obvious and some are unique for a specific workplace. 

The risk of harm occurring can be minimized or prevented if we adhere to safety rules and regulations, install necessary engineering controls for
safety, and be aware of the safety protocols in the workplace.
