How might we better

How might we better notify staff & visitors to Water Corporation sites of the potential known hazards on them and as they move around them?

Problem Story

The infrastructure and operations of the Water Corp cover thousands of different sites built over the last 100+ years each with their almost unique set of dangers.

This can cause a lot of anxiety because we’re not 100% confident about what hazards might be present when staff turn up and frustration because we’ve visited some of these places thousands of times.

But still people are largely unaware of where to take extra care or when to complete a manual risk assessment which can lead to incidents.
