Mario has recently started his own plumbing supplies business after many years experience as a contract plumber. He knows the many hazards that face plumbers on the job but now has to think through those associated with his new shop and warehouse. He needs a forklift to move boxes of fittings and piping and some tall racking in the warehouse to provide the storage space for bulk lots. He will need unloading space for trucks as well as parking areas for customers. His shop will need appropriate lighting and shelving and a helpful customer service counter area. He will also need to consider the security of his warehouse and shop at night.

Identify three key hazards, assess their risk using the table on the following page and suggest two control strategies for each of them. Ensure that one of the controls is to be from the lower end of the control hierarchy and one of them is to be from the higher end.
