• Fire extinguisher holding a door open; it should be wall-mounted or in a plastic container
• Drinks (classed as a food) are on the floor posing a contamination hazard
• Items stored on the floor pose a manual handling hazard to the staff member who has to lift them
• The door is not in good condition and should be redecorated or, at the very least, kept clean!
