Unsafe conditions are hazards that have the potential to cause injury or death to an employee. Some of these hazards include erroneous safety procedures, malfunctioning equipment or tools, or failure to utilize necessary safety equipment such as goggles and masks. Unsafe conditions can be found in a variety of workplaces, but they pose a special hazard to workers in industrial, manufacturing, or manual labor positions. At the time of hire, companies should provide workers with the information and training they need in order to avoid unsafe conditions. If a single employee engages in unsafe acts, other employees who work in the same environment will be exposed to unsafe conditions.
