    This report summarizes the findings of a health and safety inspection conducted at an office and warehouse building. Several issues were identified that could put workers' health and safety at risk if not addressed. These included a lack of training for manual handling of heavy materials; long working hours with no breaks; missing fire extinguishers and alarms; and poor management of health and safety practices. The report concludes that most vulnerabilities stemmed from gaps in health and safety management, and many issues could be resolved through low-cost maintenance and focused efforts to improve practices at the warehouse and office.

These assessment main areas are: Office bloc !are house and its direct ad"oining area. The building consists of an office for super#ision duties$ in the ware house is one store for the storage of #arious outside labour tools and apparatuses$ two toilets.

The yard and store are used for loading and unloading #ehicles with wor equipment to prepare for railway wor . There were no members of staff on duty at the time of the inspection. Executive Summary &pon finishing point of the assessment ' initiate there e(isted quite a lot of spaces of apprehension which clue to gaps of the )ealth and *afety at !or $ the +ire *afety Order $the ,anual )andling Operations$ the ,anagement of )ealth and *afety at !or and the &se of !or %quipment -egulations. The health and safety of the wor forces who are consuming the lands may well too be at ris if se#eral of these hesitations are not pontificated closely. .et/down to statement these problems may lead to consideration and concei#able implementation accomplishment from the legal obligation.

    Gaps of legal obligation or let-down to meet the terms with enhancement and development or prevention warnings and notifications may outcome in law court act being taken which may lead to illegal action and penalties and the possibility of up to 6 months imprisonment. 'n depth narrati#e of the outcomes is listed below with reference to precise details of obser#ations gi#en in brac ets.

    Main findings of the inspection ,anual )andling of )ea#y ,aterial


    There are some concerns relating to hea#yweight materials being stored at ground le#el. This is a high danger of an in"ury to labour force lifting or mo#ing these materials. 0s recommended these tools need be warehoused appropriately and at waist le#el to a#oid wounds from bending and lifting. This resol#e a#oids high costs through incidents and loss of producti#ity.

    No +ormal Training for .abours


    Nearby is a concern lin ed to pro#iding training labours to mo#e hea#y tools manually. 0nd if #ehicle is using for handling some huge si1e machinery no formal training gi#ing to dri#e the #ehicle. 'n house and outsource training can be gi#en to labours to a#oid the e(treme in"uries and proper training will definitely increase the performance le#el of labours ultimately helps the company to build their proud image.

    .abour/intensi#e &sage 'ssues


    There are certain issues related to labour se#ere wor ing hour2s duty. .abour wor force continuously wor ing up to 3 hours placing apparatus or tools in ware house. No specified wor ing hours and no proper lunch brea s$ which may affect the performance le#el of employee.

    +ire 4recautions
    +ire *afety Order requires that fire fighting arrangements must be pro#ided in the wor place. +ire +ighting and *afety %quipment +ire 0larm *ystems There are no fire alarms located throughout the building there is an absence of fire e(tinguisher in the office. +or that reason there is a #ital necessity to ensure e(tinguishers installed here as wor forces would be in e(treme danger if a fire were to start in the office. No fire e(its is not only creating a tripping ha1ard but it is putting the health and safety of the employees at ris of becoming trapped in the building if a fire were to start.

    ,anagement of )ealth and *afety


    *e#eral of the interpretations are the end result of an underpri#ileged )ealth and *afety management system which might easily be resol#ed by members of staff and at an appropriate low cost to the company. &sage of railing steel as doorstops presents a substantial no safety of slips$ trips and falls and is a stress/free problem to put right. Other maintenance concerns such as tangled cables no proper placement of tools and spilling o#er discarded broadsheet remo#ed from apparatus are all matters that gi#e a #ery disastrous spitting image to in#itees on the other hand are low cost and not uncontrollable teething troubles to resol#e.

    44%. 'ssues
    The 4ersonal 4rotecti#e %quipment regulations state that all 44% need to be appropriately stored and eep up. The 44% hindering the fire e(it must be detached and all the old 44% in the ware house ha#e to change as it is no e(tended suitable for persistence.

    Conclusions
    The warehouse and office ad"oin area are all of up/to/date. ,ost of #ulnerability was as a result of a gap in general )ealth and *afety management and many of the interpretations possibly will be resol#ed by mee maintenance and focused effort up of the ware house and office. This is a #ery low cost run through which in go the )ealth and *afety of the labour force. 't gi#es the impression as well many bad practises chosen up such as poor o#erall maintenance. )owe#er this e(ercise counts for little if it is not put into run/through on a regular basis. Owners and wor forces should ta e narcissism in a hygienic and nonto(ic place of wor and it also sets a worthy model to other companies or potential clients. 0 safe place of wor will moreo#er diminish the possibility of mishaps and ill health to wor forces and sa#e cash from pre#entable claims$ damages of ma ing and a underpri#ileged business image.
