If you're working for - or even with - people who like to cut corners when it comes to safety, there are many different ways for them to do so. These are some of the most common dangerous health and safety practices we have come across: Inadequate workplace training: where workers aren't trained in the safe use of equipment Non-adherence to health and safety measures: such as removing safety guards from machinery and failing to provide personal protection equipment Co-worker negligence: where a colleague or colleagues flout the safety rules your employer has trained you all to follow Dangerous practices in the workplace: such as poor lighting, blocked exits and unsafe floors Poor manual handling: due to a lack of training in the proper ways to lift and handle heavy or hazardous objects
