Low-risk workplaces are typically defined as work that does not involve the use of dangerous machinery and equipment or hazardous practices, these environments include working in an Office, Education, Retail, and Light-Industrial workplaces.

These working environments are believed to have a relatively low likelihood of incidents and accidents, however, complacency or overlooking seemingly minor hazards in such environments can lead to unsuspecting accidents. Employees may become less vigilant or overlook potential dangers, increasing the likelihood of incidents despite the perceived low risk. Therefore, maintaining a proactive approach to safety, regardless of perceived risk levels, is crucial to prevent unforeseen accidents.
