Explanation / Answer

The 10 different areas to be looked are as below:-

1. pool – wet slippery areas:- It is important for the safety of the guests and manpower that all the wet areas must have the wet floor signs and proper care must be done in order to reduce the dampness and wetness of the floor as it could result in injuries due to slippages. This becomes more important in those areas where the movement of old agers and children is relatively more.

2. parking area – pedestrians, blind spots:- Quite often the blind spots in the parking areas cause serious accidents as pedestrians and drivers are unaware of these blind spots. Proper lighting, signboards and even the guides can be assigned to these blind spots.

3. chemical storage areas – opened/punctured containers:- Chemical offers a serious hazard to the health can if handled causally can result in serious health consequences. Thus proper care must be given while handling opened/punctured containers

4. bathtubs – slippery:- The area near to bathtubs is usually quite slippery due to water and many accidents and even deaths can result due to this. Thus proper doormats, bathroom rugs which can reduce the wet conditions must be provided.

5. stairs – inherently hazardous:- Stair railings, supporters and small steps must be installed.

6. poor lit areas - safety:- If there are some areas which are not illuminated properly, there can be some safety issues. Lighting must be adequate all over the hotel.

7. driveways:- proper signaling, speed breakers, and zebra crossing should be made.

8. confined spaces:- These should be adequate circulation of air so that if someone stuck, a least he or she can breathe properly. Some kind of intercom can be provided to help the stuck person.

9. kitchen(s) – open flames, spills, sharp objects, etc. :- Fire extinguishers, proper tools and equipment and fire protection gears must be provided. Fire alarms and fire exit are also important. Proper tools must be provided in order to deal with sharp objects such as knives.

10. Electricity hubs (power generators, fuse boxes, etc.) – shock hazard
