Make a follow up plan addressing all hazards promptly, prioritizing those in Category A $($High Risk$)$ for immediate intervention based on these:

Category A: High Risk $($Immediate intervention required$)$

Machines lack proper guarding. $($Unguarded machinery poses a high risk of serious injury or amputation.$)$

Stairs and walkways are obstructed by boxes, equipment, cables, and other obstacles. $($Obstructions can cause tripping and falls, leading to serious injuries.$)$

Tread on stairs is in poor condition, increasing the risk of slipping. $($Slippery stairs can cause falls and injuries.$)$

Handrails are inadequate and in need of repair. Stairs lack anti$-$slip materials where necessary. $($Inadequate handrails and missing anti$-$slip materials increase the risk of falls.$)$

Electrical cords are exposed in areas where employees walk. $($Exposed electrical cords pose a high risk of electrical shock.$)$

Storage equipment is in poor condition and overloaded. Racks and pallets are in poor condition. $($Unstable storage equipment can collapse, causing injuries.$)$

Ladders are unlabeled and not maintained in good condition. $($Unmaintained ladders can break or slip, leading to falls.$)$

Kitchens lack serviceable and accessible fire extinguishers. $($Missing or faulty fire extinguishers can worsen fire emergencies.

Category B: Medium Risk $($Requires corrective action$)$

Employees perform tasks with awkward head or neck positions for extended periods. $($Ergonomic hazards can lead to musculoskeletal disorders.$)$

Employees perform tasks requiring awkward back angles for extended periods. $($Similar to above, can cause musculoskeletal disorders.$)$

Employees perform tasks with awkward elbow angles or extreme force application for extended periods. $($Another ergonomic hazard with potential for musculoskeletal disorders.$)$

Walkways are poorly lit and lack clear markings. $($Poor lighting and unclear markings can increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls.$)$

Temperature is not maintained at a comfortable level. $($Extreme temperatures can cause discomfort and potentially heat stress or cold stress.$)$

Adequate ventilation throughout the work area is lacking. $($Poor ventilation can lead to respiratory problems and indoor air quality issues.$)$

General indoor air quality is not acceptable for the majority of occupants. $($Poor air quality can cause respiratory problems and discomfort.$)$

Tools and equipment are not safely stored when not in use. $($Improper storage can lead to accidents and injuries.$)$

Appropriate ladders for required tasks are not available. $($Using the wrong ladder increases the risk of falls.$)$

Work areas are not clean, sanitary, or orderly. Storage areas lack neatness, stability, and orderliness. $($Unsanitary conditions can increase the risk of infections and accidents.$)$

Ventilation ducts are not kept clean and unobstructed. $($Clogged ducts can affect air quality and ventilation.$)$

Extension cord use exceeds minimum standards and is not utilized only as a temporary measure. $($Excessive use of extension cords can be a fire hazard.$)$

Storage areas contain rubbish. $($Rubbish can attract pests and create fire hazards.$)$

Displays, counters, and floors contain sharp edges, projecting metal bits, or loose mats. $($Sharp edges and loose mats can cause cuts and slips.$)$

Category C: Low Risk $($Monitor and improve$)$

Materials are not stored in bins whenever possible. $($While not an immediate risk, this can lead to clutter and disorganization.$)$

Emergency numbers are not clearly presented. $($Important for emergencies, but doesn't pose an immediate threat.$)$

The consequences of these hazards can include:

Physical injuries $($e$.$g$.,$ sprains, strains, cuts, slips, falls$)$

Ergonomic$-$related health issues $($e$.$g$.,$ musculoskeletal disorders$)$

Fire and electrical hazards

Respiratory and other health problems due to poor indoor air quality

Lack of access to emergency information and equipment
