Workplace safety starts with awareness. We’re spotlighting common unsafe work practices, their risks, and ways to prevent them. By recognising and addressing these hazards, we can create safer, healthier workplaces for everyone.

Rounding out our series is #10 Failing to Report Unsafe Conditions or Near Misses

Hazards don’t fix themselves, and what’s ignored today could cause harm tomorrow. Failing to report unsafe conditions or near misses means missed opportunities to prevent serious incidents.

Often, underreporting happens because workers don’t recognise the risk or fear speaking up. But a strong safety culture makes reporting the norm, not the exception.

Encouraging open communication, offering anonymous reporting, and recognising proactive behaviour can all help keep hazards from slipping through the cracks.

Next up: #9 Engaging in Horseplay

Workplaces aren’t the place for fooling around. Horseplay, any rough or reckless behaviour on the job, might seem like harmless fun, but it can quickly turn dangerous. A playful shove near machinery, goofing off on elevated surfaces, or distracting someone mid-task can lead to serious injuries, including falls, crush injuries, or worse.

Clear policies, consistent supervision, and regular training can go a long way in keeping the workplace safe and preventing accidents before they occur.
