Today we recognise World Day for Safety and Health at Work. The annual awareness day promotes the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases globally.

To help raise awareness of World Day for Safety and Health at Work QMP has created a guide to keeping you safe at work. Here are six simple health and safety tips for your workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduce workplace stress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stress can have an impact on your safety in the workplace as you may be more prone to mistakes and misjudgement. Find ways to reduce stress before it becomes a problem.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Keep good posture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring you maintain good posture when you are standing or sitting is not only good for your health, it can also increase productivity and help you work more efficiently.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Take regular breaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you take your breaks, they are there for a reason. Breaks help you relax, regain focus and they also help prevent fatigue as accidents are more likely to happen if you are tired.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Know your surroundings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you know the environment you work in and are you aware of potential hazards? Familiarise yourself with your surroundings to remain aware of possible safety risks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Report unsafe conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are aware of something in the workplace that could cause a hazard report this to a supervisor. The earlier this is reported the quicker the issue can be rectified to ensure no one is harmed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
