 Improper storage, messy environment
 Fire and electrical hazards
2. Consult with at least two (2) colleagues to seek feedback and further information as to how you can improve
on your identified risks and recommended solutions /improvements. You must record this consultation in a
short video (maximum 5 minutes’ duration) and upload the video into Moodle as part of your assessment.
