Injury or even death can occur.
The employer has to take the majority of the responsibility from the resulting incident, in that; they have to ensure the environment is compatible and inline with health & safety regulations. Otherwise, inevitable accidents caused by negligence such as; falling from an unsecured scaffolding, faulty machinery and a lack of general maintenance or repair of workplace items will happen.
For example, within certain cases, incidents such as a 21 year old man who was injured at a local factory whilst working on a steel press, malfunctioned and cut the tips of three of his fingers off. He received £40,000 in compensation.

How to Prevent Workplace Accidents
The increasing importance of health and safety at the workplace is prompting organisations to devise means of accident prevention at work.
There is need to identify the role of a safety culture in preventing accidents at workplaces. Organizations that have already embarked on safety programmes can learn some more from this and those that haven't might want to take notes.
The Government of Rwanda's environmental health policy, published in 2008, states that there is a law governing occupational health and safety in work places. However, this law should be translated into codes of practice to guide its implementation and enforcement. All employers should be guided to establish relevant internal Health and Safety Policies at the work place. Environmental Health (EH) personnel are required to work with MIFOTRA (Ministry of Public Service and Labour) personnel to ensure that EH inspection tools are revised to include aspects of OHS.
Good safety culture in a workplace exists when safety and health are understood to be, and are accepted as a top priority. Safety and health does not exist if isolated from other aspects of organisations, such as people and financial management.
