People are likely to get ill when they are under too hot or too cold environment. Unsuitable temperature may cause inefficience in people's work. Make sure the temperature in workplace is comfortable.

3.Ensure lighting is adequate

Inappropriate lighting may cause myopia and other eyesight problems. It is necessary to make sure that the lighting in workplace is adequate. To improve the working environment, brighter lights or more lights can be installed in proper locations.

4.Ensure alarms can be heard in the area

Alarm systems and fire service monitoring of these systems are required in certain types of buildings under legislation such as the National Construction Code of Australia. They are primarily designed to warn occupants of a fire so they can safely evacuate the premises. To keep people safe in workplace, make sure alarms can be heard clearly.

5.Escape routes are clear

Keeping escape routes clear all the times is of great importantance in the event of a fire because it allows the swift and safe escape on individuals from the building. Clutter or poorly-maintained flooring could result in evacuation taking longer than required. Make sure that the escape routes are clear.

6.Kits accessible within 5 minutes and contents are indate

It is beyond doubt that knowledge of first aid promotes a safer and healthier environment. First aid procedures should provide workers with a clear understanding of the first aid facilities at their workplace and consider a worker's language skills and reading ability. Make sure that they are indate and can be accessed in short time.
