Incident pit

Okay, so imagine you are playing outside and you dig a hole in the ground. This hole is called a pit. But sometimes, something bad can happen and someone can get hurt in the pit. This is called an incident.

An incident pit is a term used in occupational health and safety. It means a place inside a workplace where there is a higher risk of someone getting hurt or having an accident. This could be because of dangerous equipment, slippery floors, or other hazards.

To keep workers safe, workplaces need to identify where the incident pits are and take steps to minimize the risks. This might involve putting up warning signs, providing safety equipment, or training workers on how to stay safe. By making sure everyone knows where the incident pits are and how to avoid them, we can help prevent accidents and keep people safe.
