Personal Safety

Personal safety is taking preventive action to reduce hazards that can result in slips, trips falls and manual handling injuries – these risks are much more common. Personal safety injuries come from a result of interactions between people and/or equipment – often seen as easily preventable with training and reminders around the workplace in the form of posters.
