The second floor of this building contained motors and a locker room for employees was on the third floor.

.Working at Height- The Working at Height Regulations 2005 states a place is a height if a person could be injured falling from it, even if it is below ground level. If employees are working at height the condition/age and construction of the building need to be assessed to ensure that the building can withstand the weight of workmen, if this is not properly assessed there is a danger of employees falling through roofs and other sections of the building. Whilst working at height scaffolding is of a concern, it is vital that only suitable specialist scaffolding contractors are employed to ensure it is properly erected. With regards to falling objects it is important that site managers establish exclusion

FY 2017 Workload: The NPDES inspection personnel spent the majority of time conducting NPDES related activities. A yearly project list was assigned to inspector personnel. The staff scheduled and conducted inspections on a timely basis in order to complete assignments. The EQC Greenwood office is responsible of the Greenwood, Lawrence, Abbeville, and McCormick counties. In the past, the Saluda and Edgeville counties were part of the Greenwood Office, but currently the EQC Akon Office is responsible of those counties. Table 3 below shows the workload conducted by the EQC Office during the 2016 fiscal inspection year.

Item 5: Are storage areas free from tipping hazards? PASS. All materials were put away safely.

    The second floor of this office building has most of the rooms located on the center area of the floor. There is a set of stairs, stair one, located next to elevator one and elevator two. The walls that make up stair one and surround the elevators have two hour fire barrier. In this same area, there is an electrical data and custodial room. There is a corridor that leads to restrooms and to an entrance to another elevator and stair two located between column lines four and six. The women's restroom has three sinks, three small stalls, and one larger stall. The men’s restroom has three sinks, two urinals, one small stall, and one larger stall.Next to the elevator and stairs, are a mechanical, custodial, and data room. Inside this custodial room is a janitor sink. On both sides of the cluster of rooms, is open office space. There is three concrete columns located in these areas. These areas has a raised flooring system, which most likely signifies there will be electrical components distributed under the floor. The total dimensions of the second floor are 166 by 92 feet.

Shortcomings with regards to the workplace are a result of poor supervision and the need for employees to be made more aware of the consequences of their actions by managers, supervisors and their peers alike. Removal of objects causing obstructions or increasing risk of slips, trips and falls is mostly a supervisory responsibility. These included unsuitable rugs, PPE storage and used pallets (5, 16, 24 & 27). There were instances where simple, inexpensive alterations and consultation by management with staff and supervisors would reduce risks throughout all facilities. Signs legible by all staff (6.) and shared facilities (7) are cases in point. The use of available manual handling was not evidently enforced as a matter of routine (10)
