| Nobody is safeguarded against physical injuries. There are objects that are considered to be sources of increased danger. One of such sources is a motor car. In accordance with the statistics, more than 3000 people die daily in car accidents. But unluckily, you can sustain an injury even when you do not deal with objects with potential risk. Accidents at work represent the group of injuries get in normal conditions of functioning.
A work accident stands for a sudden and unintentional event in business hours that brings to physical injury to a person accomplishing his work. So as to qualify the accident as a work accident there should be a link between the event itself and the accomplished work. There is a widespread opinion that accidents at work have something to do only with builders and factory workers. Actually, accidents occur everywhere. Unluckily, there is no clear classification of accidents at work. You never realize what is going to happen. But nevertheless, there are several fundamental rules to take into consideration in order to ensure your work health and safety.
First of all, remember that a "wet floor" sign signifies that you should take another route. Even if you are in a hurry you'd better spend some time to go a way round than end with a concussion or a broken arm. Be attentive to the path you're walking on and never attempt walking on wet floor.
