stage a warning of wet floors;
strictly enforce health and safety with employees; and
properly teach employees about health and safety.

This is a general outline for maintaining a safe work environment. Depending on your job, employers may need to address more extensive safety precautions, such as safety eyewear or fire-proof clothing if you work in a chemical lab.
