these conflict situations.

is really the challenging one because we need to ensure and inspect all the workplace
activities and the surface and floors and even all the machinery products are well

workplace to minimise the injury due to the workplace hazard. So, it is one of the major
challenge to carry out in the organization.

the workplace and also arranging the program for sharing the information that is not
worthy for the staffs, So, by this process the conflict can be managed earlier before it
makes the big issues. Likewise, to manage the hazard for the safety of the employee in
workplace, we can inspect and make checklist of inspection of all the work area and
equipment conditions in daily basis, for unethical communication, we can take action for
the staffs or whoever carries out the situation of the problem and finally for organisational
messaging we can separate the team for this task and also we can apply the monitoring
system technique to make this challenges easier.
