  10. IDENTIFIATION OF RISK In order to effectively control slip, trip and fall risks, employers should: • Identify the hazards – Carry out site inspections and look for hazards throughout the premises and around the site • Decide who might be harmed and how – look at who comes onto the site and whether they are at risk. • Consider the risks and decide if precautions already being taken are enough or if more needs to be done. • Investigate near miss reports. • Run awareness, education and information campaigns. • Record the findings. • Review the assessment regularly and revise it if necessary.

  11. The risk factors to consider include: • Environmental (floors, slopes, stairs, lighting, temperature, equipment etc. • Contamination (water, food, litter, bags etc. • Footwear (e.g. ‘Sensible shoe’ policy as part of DSE assessment. • Individual factors (training, induction, exit interviews, information, supervision, workplace pathways etc.)

  13. HAZARDS

  14. CONCLUSION(RECOMMENDATIONS) • Employers must identify and provide information to employees to make them aware of risks at the workplace and enable them to perform their work safely. • Information should be provided in a form all employees at the workplace can understand. • Monthly inspections of the workplace • Change of the headphones after a certain period of times. • Clean the workplace all the time • First aid training giving to all employees • Employer must give proper information about OH&S policies and procedures to all employees
