Answer(s): A,B,C,D
The correct answer is that all of these shown create hazards, which along with exposure to chemi- cals, gases and some forms of dust, must be guarded against. In most countries there is legislation which should be observed to promote safe working.Warehouses and factories are highly hazardous places, and managers should ensure that stringent safety procedures are followed to the letter, in some cases, upon pain of dismissal for employees. For examples, vehicles and humans should be physically separated wherever possible, and items at height should be handled with utmost care.(Yesterday I witnessed a crane manoeuvre (outside the UK) where an operative was standing di-rectly under a very heavy item, which had it fallen, would have instantly killed the operative. Such practices need to be trained out of people, irrespective of the cost.) (L3M6)
