An injury at work can be a serious problem but some can be easily dealt with and prevented at work. Maintaining clean and safe working environments is important so that employees can work safely. A clean and safe workplace should always be free of dust, clutter, sharp objects and dangerous equipment such as power drills or other dangerous devices. All workers must wear protective clothing such as goggles and gloves whenever they are working on difficult jobs such as cutting, drilling or sawing. It is necessary to ensure that safety equipment such as eye protection is in use and available at work. In addition, if there is a spill, clean-up must be immediately started so that contamination does not affect anybody’s health.
