Often it seems there is no time for stressing about hazards around the workplace. But, relying on people to put items away properly or clean up spilled goods isn't always the best practice. The International Labour Organization estimates that [2.3 million people](http://www.ilo.org/moscow/areas-of-work/occupational-safety-and-health/WCMS_249278/lang--en/index.htm) succumb to work-related accidents or diseases every year. Fortunately, there are simple ways to protect yourself and your teammates to ensure that injuries on the job are avoided.  **Preview [Luke Croston](https://www.typsy.com/instructors/luke-croston)'s course now: **     Whether it's a mop lying on the floor, water spilled in a walkway or using a ladder to reach out-of-reach objects, there are risks involved with each. With the on-the-go nature of hospitality, cleaning up after yourself and others and putting items away securely and safely can often fall to the back of your mind. But, by completing your tasks correctly, you can help stop the risk of slips, trips, and falls in the workplace. If you're not sure where to start, don't worry, General Manager of Food Operations at [Made Establishment](https://madeestablishment.com.au), Luke Croston, will help you understand the essentials including identifying and preventing common slip, trip, and falls hazards, how to report accidents and more.
