                     Health and safety should be prioritised by employers to create a secure environment for employees,
                    improving productivity and overall well-being.
                     Health and safety programmes should ensure clean air, safe food, and mental health support through
                    stress management and social initiatives.
                     Training,  safety  drills, and emergency  preparedness  are  essential to identifying and  mitigating
                    hazards.
                     Health and safety measures should safeguard both employees and company assets through physical
                    security, cybersecurity, and emergency response plans.
                     Policies must be implemented to ensure compliance with regulations and establish a safety committee.
                     Efforts  should  focus  on  addressing  physical,  chemical,  biological,  psychosocial,  and  ergonomic
                    hazards to prevent accidents and injuries.
                     Strategies should implement a hierarchy of controls—elimination, substitution, engineering controls,
                    administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE)—to minimise risks.
                     Protocols should concentrate  on proper  chemical storage,  maintaining cleanliness, and  the
                    appropriate use of protective gear to prevent accidents.
