Health and safety should be a priority among employers as well as employees. For sure, some people will consider the advices coming from employment law experts and health and safety advisors essential for the smoothest flow of business. However, it should not be disregarded that there is no better way to prevent problems concerning health and safety other than to make sure that you will make yourself capable of avoiding it. Awareness have proved to be the best way to prevent problems in many occasions and for sure, it will also work well for the employees who want to avoid the most common workplace threats. There are common workplace injuries and knowing what these things are can prevent you from being in that situation. 1. Overexertion (ex. injuries acquired through pulling and lifting) 2.

Hit by objects (ex. books from shelves or objects dropped by another person) 6. Hit against an object (ex. running into concrete walls, glass, cabinets, or chairs) 7.
