SAFETY FIRST AWARENESS
WORK PLACE

Slips, trips and falls are among the most serious accidents that occur in
retail stores and similar work environments.

Precautionary Actions:

 Wearing rubber soled safety shoes that enable you to move
comfortably and maintain firm footing – open-toed shoes or sandals
are not permitted.

 If you see a spill, clean it up immediately. Do not ignore the spill;
when you fail to clean up or notify someone that the spill exists,

someone else could slip, fall and injure themselves.

 Keep aisles and doorways clear of boxes, product, fixtures, tools, and

other items.
SLIPS
 Tools and equipment used for work should not be left unattended
on the sales floor.

 Working area should have equipment kept neat, organized and to
ensure room for other’s to pass without creating a tripping hazard.
