The floor surface itself, not only does it have to be kept free from defects in the surface per se, but also it needs to be kept free of any substances, of any articles or obstructions, that are likely to cause someone walking there to either slip or trip. There are specific regulations about making sure that pedestrians and vehicles don't come into conflict, for example, in factories or warehouses. There are certain specific regulations that apply to a workplace, for example, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations, The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations, and The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations - to name a few. The risk assessment will assess; the load that is being carried, the individual who is going to be carrying the load in terms of their age and their physical ability, the environment in which the load is to be transported in terms of whether it is safe, whether there's clear routes, etc, and also the task itself, for example, whether it requires more than one person to help lift what would otherwise be too heavy load for just one person.
