ABSTRACT
One of your office workers has just left in an ambulance. She broke her nose after tripping over a piece of wood that had been left on the floor by a builder who was refurbishing the office.

You decide that the business needs to embed risk awareness more deeply into the culture. ‘Let’s start by seeing who’s responsible for what,’ you say.
