14. Stay hydrated all the times

Dehydration decreases your brain function and cognitive abilities. Even as little as 1-2 percent of dehydration makes you think slower. This means slower reactions, less concentration and, consequently, more accidents at work.

Encourage your employees to drink lots of water every day. Drinking more water, juices, and other non-alcoholic drinks at frequent intervals will help a lot in replacing all the fluids they’ve lost from working.

13. Be Prepared In Medical Emergency Situations
First aid ably covers the basics. But what happens in a true emergency? In some industries, the workplace can be quite severe.

The most common workplace injuries are:
— Strains and sprains
— Fractures
— Open wounds
— Contusion
— Tissue disorders
— Burns

However, even if it is not that common, people can suffer from a sudden cardiac arrests or heart attacks at any time or place.

12. Give Regular Breaks

Employees that have regular breaks tend to feel more fresh and alert than those who don’t. Let employees rest in a cool place. This helps in avoiding injuries or burnouts.

11. Reduce Workplace Stress

The most common causes of stress and work burn-out are long hours, heavy workload, job insecurity and conflicts. These can lead to depression, sleeping difficulties, and affect employees concentration.

In more general terms, workplace stress happens when the requirements of the employee’s position surpass their capabilities, resources and current state. This causes the frustration that, if continues for a long period of time, can turn into a chronic stress.

10. Avoid Assigning The Same Repetitive Tasks Over And Over

Repetitive tasks are more dangerous than you may think. Even if they are as seemingly simple as typing. These kinds of tasks can be taxing for your employees in two ways. Repetitive tasks can be strenuous on their body and their mind.
Repetitive tasks can cause Occupational overuse syndrome (OOS) which is another name for repetitive strain injury or RSI. It can affect your back, shoulders, arms, elbows, fingers, wrists and other joints and muscles. The common symptoms include:
• Uncomfortable aches
• Weak muscles
• Restricted joint mobility
• Swelling
• Numbness

It is important to understand that OOS effects will not simply go away on their own and they need to be treated.

9. Use Mechanical Aids For Lifting And Transportation

There are two ways you can lift something: on your own and by using some sort of aids. For tasks that involve a lot of heavy lifting, provide mechanical aids such as a wheelbarrow, conveyor belt, crane or forklift to avoid rise in the number of injuries.

Consider putting ergonomically designed furniture and equipment in your workplace. It’s also best to rearrange the work area and make sure that everything is within easy reach to prevent falling and other accidents when reaching for things.

7. Provide First Aid Training

Providing your employees with first aid stations goes a long way towards safety and a practical way to deal with emergencies. These wall-mounted stations must be fully stocked with a first aid kit that has all the meds and supplies needed to handle the most commonly encountered situations in the office.

The first step toward creating a safer workplace is getting a professional workplace risk assessment. This will identify all the potential risks that lurk in your workplace. Once that is done, you can go on and take all the necessary precautions.

6. Clearly Label Designated Hazardous Zones
Areas, where dangerous equipment is stored, should be clearly labeled and the walkways should be highlighted with necessary signage.

It also helps to mark the hazardous zones with tape or black and white stripes painted on the floor. This keeps employees aware of dangerous surroundings and helps them avoid accidents that may cause serious injuries.

2. Use mats on slippery floors

By simply preventing a trip and slip by using a mat on a slippery floor is just the most obvious and direct way of ensuring safety in your workplace.

Also, placing the dust control mats on your workplace entrances will reduce the number of germs that are being brought inside on the people’s’ soles. In that way, you will reduce the number of infections, flu and other germs that induced illnesses.

1. Keep Every Corner Clean, Organised, And Clutter-Free

Slipping and tripping are usually caused by scattered objects or spills on the floor. Make sure that your workplace is always clean and fresh. Keep the aisles clean, organized, and clutter-free to ensure that nothing’s in the way that can hurt those who are working.
