Explanation / Answer
You have recently taken ownership of a small convenience store. You decide to do a hazard identification walk (see report below). Detail each hazard, effect, risk factor and employer action in the table over the page. Complete template
“Upon entering the store I noticed small pools of water left by customers shaking their umbrellas and taking off their coats. There are still a lot of boxes of stock left in the aisles. Some are over 15 kilograms in weight. The work areas around the cash registers
look very aged, with cardboard being used underneath one of the staff’s chairs so it remains balanced. Behind the cash registers cables to the computers are laid out on the floor. The electrical socket that is used for the printer/fax and the EFTPOS machine appears to have become loose. One of the staff members smells of alcohol and appears to be under the influence of another substance"
