Ten Workplace Safety
Tips
 1. Understand risks.
Every work environment is different and these will vary from industry to industry and from job
site to job site. It’s critical that employees understand the inherent risks that come with a
particular job so they can take the proper steps necessary to avoid injury. Particularly if working
with dangerous equipment or in a hazardous environment.

2. Be aware of your surroundings at all time.

This builds on the previous point of understanding risks – but requires employees to
always be aware of what is going on around them and to look for hazards constantly.
 3. Know where the first aid kit/officer are.
If someone requires first aid, do your employees know how to access it in the workplace? Ensure your
staff know where the first aid kit is and if you have a designated first aid officer, ensure they know who
that person is so they can get assistance should they need it.

4. Taking regular breaks.

Many workplace injuries happen as a result of an employee

being tired or burned out. By taking regular breaks,
employees can stay fresh on the job.
 5. Always using equipment properly.

When machines and tools are used in the workplace,

employees should always take proper precautions,
never take shortcuts and never use the equipment for
purposes other than what is intended. By doing so, the
risk of workplace injury is greatly reduced.
 6. Pay attention to signage.
Signage is placed to indicate that there
could be a potential hazard in the area and
includes important information about
maintaining a safe work environment.
7. Know where emergency exits
are.

All employees should know where is

the safety exit located in the event of
an evacuation
8. Keep emergency exits accessible.

Because employees need to access exits

quickly in the event of an emergency, it is
important that these will kept clear.
9. Report unsafe conditions.

Employees should know how to

report unsafe conditions so
management can quickly address
any safety risks or hazards.
10. Wear correct safety equipment.

Every employee has a responsibility to

ensure they are wearing proper protective
equipment that will enable them to safely
carry out their job.
 What is the main goal of
Occupational Safety? and why is
it so important?
 The main goal of occupational safety is to protect workers from
harm that could result from incidents connected to the duties they
perform at work.
Why is it so important?

• Every business has safety risks.

‍ any aspects of physical, mental, and social health
M
and safety at work are covered under occupational
safety. It serves as the focal point for all of the
company's efforts to eliminate risks and accidents
at work.
2. Well-maintained occupational safety saves
money.
‍A personal cost of a safety failure may be the
greatest and most immeasurable. An
individual may be forced to adapt an entirely
new lifestyle and even self-identity due to
the loss of a limb or years of mental
rehabilitation.
3. Occupational safety creates new
opportunities.

‍Another perspective is to embrace

occupational safety as an untapped opportunity
rather than simply seeing it as risks and costs
that should be handled and reduced
 4. Occupational safety affects company
reputation and productivity.

‍It is important for businesses of all forms

and from all fields to examine their
workplace safety. If a business wants to
enhance procedures in the VUCA world, it
must be able to adapt and learn from
mistakes.
 Conclusion
Occupational safety is very important and it
is the joint responsibility of all: the
government, the employer and the worker.
