What are three characteristics of a safe workplace?
Three characteristics of a safe workplace are:
1. Safe physical conditions: This includes everything from proper lighting and ventilation to regular inspections and maintenance of equipment. A safe workplace should be free of hazards that could cause injury or illness, such as electrical hazards, tripping hazards, and exposure to hazardous chemicals.
2. Proper training and communication: Employees need to be properly trained on how to perform their jobs safely. This training should include information on how to identify and avoid hazards, how to use safety equipment, and what to do in case of an emergency. Employers also need to have a system in place for communicating safety information to employees.
3. A positive safety culture: Safety should be a top priority for everyone in the workplace, from the top down. Employers need to set clear expectations for safety and employees need to be engaged in the safety process. A positive safety culture is one where everyone feels comfortable reporting hazards, asking questions about safety, and making suggestions for improvements.
