Poor Housekeeping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the clutter or spill requires specialized training to clean up, then employees need to alert their supervisor, who can send in the appropriate staff. Additionally, Dankert recommends setting aside a few minutes at the end of each shift to clean up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Electrical\/extension cords<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although extension cards can be useful for temporarily supplying power for certain operations, the keyword is &#8220;temporarily&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Forklifts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shortcuts or working quickly can cause more frequent accidents, typically by doing things such as carrying too large of a load or distracted driving. This can cause injury to the driver or a pedestrian.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Lockout\/Tagout<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proper lockout\/tagout procedures can help serious injuries from happening, but only if they&#8217;re followed properly. Often, the procedure can be sound while the implementation falters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.\u00a0 Chemicals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If a company purchases and uses chemicals, it needs to have a control system, including storage, communication, and disposal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.
