    The identified risks to workplace health and safety at IBISWorld include ergonomic strain, electrocution, slips, trips and falls, evacuation, and staff safety at sanctioned events. These risks can lead to injuries and accidents in the workplace. Ergonomic strain can result from repetitive motions or poor ergonomics in the work environment, leading to musculoskeletal disorders. Electrocution can occur when working with electrical equipment or in environments with exposed wires. Slips, trips, and falls can happen due to wet or uneven surfaces, leading to injuries. Evacuation is necessary in emergency situations to ensure the safety of employees. Staff safety at sanctioned events is important to prevent any harm or incidents during company-sponsored events.

    If you intend to drive home from a work-sanctioned event, what is the maximum amount of alcohol you should consume?

    • One standard drink

    • Two standard drinks

    • None at all

    • It depends on how long the event goes for and your personal limits

    Correct Answer
    A. None at all
    Explanation
    When driving home from a work-sanctioned event, it is important to prioritize safety and adhere to the legal limits. Consuming any amount of alcohol impairs judgment, reaction time, and coordination, increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, the correct answer is "None at all." It is crucial to avoid alcohol completely to ensure a safe journey home.

    A. Clear office and workstation areas of any clutter
    A. Keep electrical cords and computer cables tidy under desks
    A. Clean up any spilt liquids on the kitchen floor
    A. Use a ladder rather than a chair to stand on
    Explanation
    To avoid office slips, trips, and falls, it is important to clear office and workstation areas of any clutter to ensure a clear and safe walking path. Keeping electrical cords and computer cables tidy under desks helps to prevent tripping hazards. Cleaning up any spilt liquids on the kitchen floor is crucial to avoid slipping accidents. Lastly, using a ladder rather than a chair to stand on provides a stable and secure platform for reaching high areas, reducing the risk of falls. Riding a push bike around the office, however, does not contribute to avoiding slips, trips, and falls.
