  Arrangement of the workplace 1/4

The workplace of the individual employee must be arranged as appropriately as possible. This means that there should be space for furniture, tools and materials to be placed appropriately. It is important that the floor of the workplace is levelled, tidied and fixed, and that there are no differences in levels or steps which might cause a risk of falling. It must be possible for all tasks to be done safely and without exposing the employee's body to strains, awkward working positions and monotonous work.

You should especially pay attention to the risk of slippery floors in coolers and cold stores. Therefore such rooms should have special slip-resistant flooring.

You can also try to rethink the whole work routine: Is it possible to simplify it or make it more efficient so that individual objects do not have to be moved very often, or too far away or too high up?
