While management has a responsibility to make workplaces as safe as possible, employees also have a responsibility to report any hazards they find and to follow safe work practices to minimize risk. - - Follow the slip, trip, and fall prevention plan. - Complete all relevant training: know the hazards in your workplace and what PPE is required. - Report any hazards you see. - Clean up obstacles and clutter, and immediately clean up spills. - Wear slip-resistant shoes. - Do not run in the workplace: walk. - Watch your step, paying attention to hazards and warnings, such as “wet floor” signs. Do not use your cell phone while walking or using stairs. - Follow safe practices when carrying objects: large or unwieldy loads may impair your vision or be distracting. - Follow safe practices when using ladders or working around edges. **Physical Factors** - - Be aware of your physical condition: you are more likely to have an accident if you are fatigued, sleepy, or sick. - If you take medication, be aware of its effects and assure that you are safe to work. - You can minimize your risk of fall-related injuries by exercising regularly and eating a diet rich in vitamin D and calcium. - Corrective lenses may be necessary for impaired vision. Wear them if necessary, but be sure to also follow any eye protection requirements. *If you work in an area with many hazards, it is especially important to pay attention, to avoid being distracted, and to not rush.* All content from [Succeed Management Solutions](https://www.lossfreerx.com/Platform/Tools/Library.aspx).
