Jonathan was an employee who hardly care about warning signs in the office, and often he overlooked potential hazards in his office because they looked unimportant.
One day, he got super busy with his assigned tasks that his attention could not discern the loose cable on the floor of his office.
As he walked towards his seat, he tripped over the cable, fell and hit his head of the edge of his table. Jonathan suffered serious head injury that required surgery and months of recovery.
While in the hospital, he regretted not taking the time to notice the loose cable, and from then on, he pledged to always be mindful of his environment in the future. He equally became an exemplary case study for his co-workers.
It is important to know that accidents can happen to anyone, but taking the time to be aware of your surroundings can prevent many of them.
It’s essential to pay attention to warning signs and potential hazards in your work environment to protect yourself and those around you. Remember, safety is everyone’s responsibility, and accidents can be prevented by always being alert and cautious.
Accident prevention! – My number one intention.

Good housekeeping entails that everything must be kept in an orderly manner and in a clean condition ready for use. To be able to imbibe good housekeeping and maintain it, you need to be conversant with the 5S as developed by Tahichi Ohno during the 60s in Japan.
1. Sort – Remove materials that are not necessary, store the ones that are important and are needed on a daily and weekly basis, and archive old but vital ones for future retrieval.
2. Set in Order – The important materials you need should be set aside, labelled, colour coded and put in easily tracked locations. Ensure everyone knows the location of all materials
3. Shine & Clean – when setting materials into different locations, ensure they are cleaned and in good working condition. Repair broken items, and ensure your working area is constantly clean
4. Standardisation – Ensure that the new pattern of arrangement and level of cleanliness you have achieved are now standard. Put it down on paper so that anyone taking over will adhere to all housekeeping standards as prescribed. This will help to build consistency in the system.
5. Sustain – ensure that the standards are passed on to everyone to maintain cleanliness and locations of the equipment. Then, simple routine audits can be done to check if the standards are maintained, and equally ascertain areas that need improvement
These 5S are very vital when one wants to maintain good housekeeping. You also need to bear in mind that housekeeping you skip may cause a fall, trip or slip.

Ubong could no longer endure the excruciating pain from the itch on his back. He had to report to the sickbay that morning, and after some examinations, the company nurse, Blessing, informed him that the rash on his back was a symptom of scabies, and he needed to take a few days off for his treatment and also to disinfect his personal belongings.
Three days later, Blessing had two more cases of scabies from Ubong’s colleagues, Idorenyin and Prince. These new cases prompted the nurse to begin an investigation into the origin of the spread.
From her enquiry, she discovered that Idorenyin and Prince had, at some point, worn Ubong’s PPE, and got infected from it.
If you were in Blessing’s position, what would be your recommendation to the company to help prevent the disease from spreading to other employees.
