Office safety: 25 steps to a safer office

• Falls are the most common source of injury in an office, although workers also are injured by being struck by or against objects, and suffering ergonomic injuries.
• Some simple changes to the workspace can be effective in eliminating hazards and reducing the number of injuries.
• Administrative interventions such as scheduled walk-throughs and the establishment of a formal reporting system can help protect workers in an office environment.

It's fairly obvious that safety and health hazards can exist on worksites filled with heavy machinery and equipment, where employees often are required to engage in strenuous manual labor. A job where most of the work tasks are completed while sitting in a chair in a climate-controlled office building would seem less fraught with danger. However, a surprising number of hazards can be present in an office setting. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 80,410 private-industry office and administrative workers suffered on-the-job injuries in 2008. Many of these injuries could have been prevented had workers or supervisors recognized the risks and implemented simple workplace modifications to help mitigate them. Here are 25 steps you can take to reduce the risk of injury among your office staff.

Slips, trips and falls, the most common type of office injury, sidelined 25,790 workers in 2008, according to BLS. Several hazards contribute to these injuries, although most can be significantly reduced, often by raising awareness among employees. 

Stay clutter-free Boxes, files and various items piled in walkways can create a tripping hazard, according to OSHA. Be certain that all materials are safely stored in their proper location to prevent buildup of clutter in walkways. Further, in addition to posing an electrical hazard, stretching cords across walkways or under rugs creates a tripping hazard, so ensure all cords are properly secured and covered. 

Step on up Standing on chairs – particularly rolling office chairs – is a significant fall hazard. Workers who need to reach something at an elevated height should use a stepladder. The Chicago-based American Ladder Institute cautions that stepladders must be fully opened and placed on level, firm ground. Workers should never climb higher than the step indicated as the highest safe standing level.  

Maintain a clear line of vision Workers can collide when making turns in the hallways and around blind corners or cubicle walls. The National Safety Council suggests installing convex mirrors at intersections to help reduce collisions. If workers can see who is coming around the corner, collisions are less likely to occur.   

Get a grip Carpeting and other skid-resistant surfaces can serve to reduce falls. Marble or tile can become very slippery – particularly when wet, according to the National Safety Council. Placing carpets down can be especially helpful at entranceways, where workers are likely to be coming in with shoes wet from rain or snow. 

Struck/caught by

Another major type of injury in the office setting comes from workers being struck by or caught by an object. Incidents of this nature accounted for 15,680 injuries in 2008, according to BLS. 

Shut the drawer File cabinets with too many fully extended drawers could tip over if they are not secured, the council warns. Additionally, open drawers on desks and file cabinets pose a tripping hazard, so be sure to always completely close drawers when not in use. 

Safe stacking According to the Office of Compliance, which oversees the safety of U.S. congressional workers, proper storage of heavy items can help reduce the number of office injuries. Large stacks of materials and heavy equipment can cause major injuries if they are knocked over. OOC recommends storing heavy objects close to the floor, and warns that the load capacity of shelves or storage units should never be exceeded.

Ergonomics injuries

Perhaps the most prevalent injuries in an office setting are related to ergonomics. Because office workers spend the bulk of their day seated at a desk and working on a computer, they are prone to strains and other injuries related to posture and repetitive movement. Ergonomics hazards can be difficult to detect. “Most office conditions that can be described as hazardous from an ergonomics perspective would appear quite innocuous to the everyday observer,” said Marc Turina, principal consultant for ErgoSmart Consultants in McKees Rocks, PA.

Provide adjustable equipment One size does not fit all in an office workstation. “Adjustability is the key,” Turina said. “Chairs, work surfaces, monitor stands, etc., should all be adjustable in order to accommodate the widest range of employees.” He recommended presenting a variety of options to employees. Although employers may be reluctant to pay for expensive ergonomic equipment, experts insist the equipment is a wise investment. “A good keyboard tray may retail around $300; a good chair may retail around $500 to $700,” said Sonia Paquette, professional ergonomist and doctor of occupational therapy. She points out that the cost of the health claims that stem from not having these devices is much higher. “Some of these hard claims cost many tens of thousands of dollars just of medical treatment, let alone cost of replacement, absenteeism, loss of work production, etc.” 

Train workers on how to use equipment Providing adjustable furniture and equipment is only the first step in creating an ergonomically sound workstation. “A big issue that I have encountered a lot lately is employee inability to properly adjust their own office chairs,” Turina said. “Many times, employers can invest $500 in an excellent adjustable chair, but employees still experience a bad workstation fit.” The problem often is twofold: Workers do not know how to adjust their equipment, and they do not know the most ergonomically beneficial way to set up their workstation. Train workers on both the ideal setup and how to operate adjustable equipment accordingly.

Keep your feet on the floor One of the first questions Paquette asks workers is whether their feet touch the floor when seated at their desk. “It sounds like an incredibly simple question,” she said, “but very often workers have their keyboard tray on the desktop, so in order to reach it, they need to jack up their chair so high that their feet can barely touch the floor.” She added that unless an employee’s feet are on the floor, a chair will not be able to reduce pain and discomfort. She recommended options such as adjustable keyboard trays or rolling tables adjusted to the proper height to eliminate this problem. Although footrests are a “second-best option,” their small surface may impede some of the worker’s movement. 

Provide document holders Frequently typing from hard copy can lead to neck strain if a worker is forced to repeatedly look down to the desk and back to the computer screen. Turina recommends providing document holders to reduce this strain. “These document holders are reasonably priced, and eliminate excessive cervical motion and help to prevent muscle imbalances,” he said. Document holders also are good for the eyes, according to the St. Louis-based American Optometric Association. Keeping reference materials close to the monitor reduces the need for your eyes to change focus as you look from the document to the monitor. 

Correct mouse placement Paquette often sees workstations where the computer keyboard is on a tray, but the mouse remains on the desk. “That spells disaster for the neck and shoulder on the side of that mouse,” she said. She recommends that the mouse always be placed beside the keyboard.

5 ways to strengthen your safety culture.

Creating an Effective Workplace Safety Topics Presentation

Picture this: You’ve got your team gathered. You’ve got a list of safety topics and you have slides packed with useful data. There’s just one problem: your audience is checked out from the first slide.

Here’s the thing: you could have the most useful safety information available, and it won’t do you any good if your audience isn’t engaged.

The trick is knowing how to get their attention (and deliver the information they need). Here are three tips to help you create an effective safety topics presentation.

Get Creative

Start by shaking up your approach to your safety topics presentation. Put away the PowerPoint slides (for now). Break out the drawing board. Get creative.

If you recite the same set of health and safety facts , your employees are going to tune out, just like they may always have. They’re expecting the same old presentation. They’ll pay attention if you give them something different.

Your job is to get people to imagine. One way to drive home the point is a simple exercise with a dollar bill.

Get out your wallet, pull out a dollar bill, show it to your listeners, give them a moment to inspect it, then put it out of sight and ask them to describe the bill. Chances are, they can only describe the most obvious details, even after you show them the bill.

The point is simple: if they’re missing so many details on a little green slip of paper, how many details are they missing in a dynamic work environment? Then, segway into exercises to improve their workplace observational skills.

Incorporate Humor

One of the best ways to bring your listeners into the presentation is to incorporate humor (in a non-cringe worthy way). Laughter has been shown to bring people together , making a group think of each other more positively.

Humor also makes it easier to discuss serious topics, like workplace safety, provided that you take the right approach to humor.

One way to do this is to use funny photos or videos to illustrate mistakes. Not gross ones, mind you - funny ones. The idea is to get the room to laugh, then get them to elaborate on how serious a workplace accident could have been. The humor gets their attention and makes them more likely to internalize the message.

Encourage Two-Way Discussions

It seems obvious, but two-way discussions are infinitely more useful than monologues in safety training . Almost anything that deviates from the standard lecture-style presentation is more likely to register with your audience.

One basic way to start the discussion is by asking three questions:

• What is the biggest safety challenge you face on the job?
• If you could change one thing tomorrow, what would it be?
• What advice would you give to someone for their first day on the job?

However, remember our last two points: get creative, and incorporate humor.

Start with a personal analogy. Tell a story about yourself or the department. Then, encourage employees to tell their own stories. From there, you can segway those analogies into your safety points.

Building a Safety Presentation Your Team Actually Learns From

Building a  safety meeting is not for the faint of heart. You’re not just presenting financial numbers or selling a product – you’re sharing information with your colleagues that could save lives.

The trick, as a presenter, is creating a safety presentation that your team actually listens to and learns from.

The good news is that you can engage even the most withdrawn room, provided that you have the right tools for the task. Here are a few to help get you started.

If you want to improve your presentation, start with the basics: practice.

Of course, as a safety professional (and likely a leader in your department) it can be difficult to find the time in a day to practice your presentation, much less practice it multiple times. But if you really want to impress your audience, practice really does make perfect.

This is especially true if you’re a nervous presenter or not naturally extroverted. If either of those applies to you, winging it is a recipe for stammering, rambling, and losing your train of thought (a.k.a. the essential ingredients for a boring, uninformative presentation).

Start by writing a script . You don’t have to type every word you’ll say, but having a pretty clear outline that makes it easy to work through all your key points is helpful.

Then, practice your speech out loud. There’s no better way to ferret out phrases that trip you up. If your goal is to speak without the text, practice with the text until you can comfortably repeat the text without any hiccups, then gradually wean yourself off the script. But keep the script with you for your presentation, just in case nerves set in.

Focus on Your Audience, Not Yourself

Once you’ve got your half of the presentation ironed out, it’s time to focus on the real star of the show: your audience .

Despite the fact that everyone is looking at the presenter, the real center of attention is the audience. After all, the presenter is there to teach the audience or convince them of something, which means that the best presenters are the ones who focus on delivering value for their listeners.

This is especially true of safety presentations, where your aim is to teach colleagues how to work safely .

How do you focus on the audience?

Start by focusing on what you want them to take away from this presentation. Think about what they should learn by the time you’re done talking. This allows you to focus on content and tailor your content for that purpose, instead of focusing on how you look or sound.

Have a Secondary Goal

Let’s say that you’re giving your safety presentation. You went in thinking the content will be a winner, but as you talk, it becomes increasingly clear that your presentation is falling flat.

At this point, most people do one of two things: try too hard to make up the gap or give up.

The best way to rally a faltering presentation is to plan ahead. You know your primary goal, but if that primary goal isn’t translating, have a secondary goal in mind so that you can shift the presentation so that your audience walks away with something.

Building a Better Safety Presentation

Here’s the good news: when you get in the swing of delivering a memorable, interactive presentation, your next safety presentation will be that much easier.

The key to a better safety presentation is simple: know what you’re trying to accomplish and make plans for the presentation centered around that goal. Once you do that, it becomes that much easier to build an effective presentation (and a more effective safety meeting overall).

Five Different Ideas for Workplace Safety Presentations

Safety presentations can either bore an audience to sleep or provide the tools and knowledge to improve the overall safety program. There is rarely an in-between when it comes to these meetings.

Whether you are a full-time safety professional or a supervisor who has safety responsibilities, you may find yourself tasked with having to put together a safety presentation with no clue of what to present.

This post looks at the difference between a safety presentation and toolbox talks as well as provides free resources and ideas on what to cover at your next meeting.

The Difference Between a Safety Presentation and Safety Toolbox Talk

Depending on where you work, the terms “safety presentation” and “safety toolbox talk” may mean the same thing. In my opinion, a safety presentation, or safety meeting , is a longer and more structured safety training session. A safety presentation usually means a formal safety training session is taking place.

This usually entails securing a conference room, creating a presentation, having a sign-in sheet, creating a quiz to assess knowledge, making time in the affected employees’ schedule to participate in the safety training, etc.

Note: Visit our online store to purchase complete done-for-you safety meetings or become a member to get access to over fifteen presentations. There are one to two presentations added each month for Members!

What is Covered in a Safety Presentation?

The simple answer is anything can be a topic. A presentation can cover a required OSHA topic, or it can be an in-depth behavioral safety topic as part of an ongoing safety campaign.

There is no hard-and-fast rule, but longer meetings should be dedicated to required topics or topics that are impactful to an organization’s safety goals . These safety topics usually require more time and instruction for employees to be able to fully understand the information.

What is a Safety Toolbox Talk?

Safety talks are a short safety message for the members of a work crew prior to work beginning. These talks can be as short as a few minutes or longer than 20 minutes. On average, they are in the range of 5 or 10 minutes in duration at most companies when conducted often. The talks can cover a range of topics or just a single focal point.

These talks are still meetings, but they are shorter in duration and documented via a sign-in sheet. Companies will commonly set aside time each day or week to share a short safety message with employees.

These meetings are great for keeping safety at the forefront of employees’ minds and sharing timely safety information. Due to the short nature of these meetings and not using a quiz to assess the employees’ knowledge, they are often not considered formal safety training sessions.

Please take the time to browse our 250+ free workplace safety talks that can be used as a basis for a presentation!

Need to Find an Idea for a Safety Presentation?

Like many of you reading this, the most difficult part for me is coming up with a topic I want to speak about. The good news is there are an endless number of topics you can choose to talk about when discussing workplace safety .

In this article, I will discuss five different ideas for PowerPoint or Prezi-based safety presentations for longer safety meetings. All of the ideas are based on free information that is provided on this website. The topics are just expanded on to turn them from an informal safety toolbox talk into a longer and professional presentation. You can also check out our post on using safety videos as part of your safety training sessions.

The topics below are tailored more towards behavioral topics since many run-of-the-mill topics such as lockout/tagout, fall prevention, welding, etc. are thoroughly covered throughout the internet. A simple Google search will often yield completed PowerPoints on any general safety topic.

Five Ideas for Safety Presentations at Work for Your Next Safety Meeting

1 – how observant are you: behavioral safety presentation.

This is a safety talk that I wrote that I really think is good for audience engagement and works for many different audiences. Read the safety talk here and then continue reading the rest of the summary below. In short, you use a dollar bill to reinforce the fact of how easy it is to miss the fine details of something we see almost every day. It engages the audience by asking them to provide you with the details of a dollar bill.

If they are missing dozens of details on a six-inch dollar bill, what are they missing while at work? The same can be said with the observations they write down on their JSAs.

Use the exercise to show that there are many different observations and hazards that can be written down for any one task. After the exercise, you can go into how the individual workers can improve their observations of the work area or their JSAs.

You can also take actual photos of work areas and discuss the hazards in the photos. Another idea is to ask for stories or experiences of commonly overlooked hazards in the workplace. There are many different ways to expand on this short exercise.

2 – The Idea of the “Large Ripple”: Behavioral Safety Meeting

I call this idea the “large ripple”. You can find an article about the large ripple here . Many times, we stress how an injury or incident will affect the INDIVIDUAL, the INDIVIDUAL’s ability to work, the INDIVIDUAL’S family, etc. Well, what about everyone else in the company?

It sounds counterintuitive or weird to even tell someone, right? Let me explain. If an individual feels that his/her choice to take risks and cut corners only affects him/her, they may actually be MORE tempted to work unsafely.

Reinforcing the idea that we not only count on one another to stay safe but also count on each other to work safely so the business can continue is an interesting angle to approach. When the company thrives, everyone continues to work and has job security.

When individuals begin to choose to work unsafely, it not only affects them; it also affects their friends at work, no matter how many miles they are from where an incident occurs.

3 – S.O.R.T. Your Way to a Safer Workplace: Group Activity Safety Meeting

S.O.R.T. stands for Stop, Observe, Recognize, and Take Ownership. You can find the S.O.R.T safety talk here. You can use the acronym to discuss steps to complete a thorough inspection of the work area before starting work. I used this as part of one of my safety presentations and incorporated the tools that have been established by both our client and our company for each of the four steps. For example, a JSA could fall under “Observe,” and training could fall under “Recognize,” as in recognizing hazards.

The steps are not groundbreaking, but they serve as a good model to break down the process and walkthrough observations.

This topic is great to use as a basis for a group activity meeting. The employees can take what they learn from the presentation and walk through each step as it applies to their specific work area and job tasks. Handouts can be created to supplement what was taught in the presentation.

In the member’s area, we have put together a safety presentation combining the Dollar Bill observation exercise, “Large Ripple”, and SORT Tool. Sign up today to download it!

4 – Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as it Relates to Safety: Behavioral Safety Meeting

As management, there are many things we can do so that employees satisfy their physiological needs ( Maslow’s lowest level of the hierarchy) to help them focus on higher levels of personal fulfillment.

While I only discuss the lowest level of the hierarchy in my article, every level could be related to safety in some aspects.

The target audience for this talk is more of a management/supervisor level who can take the message and make improvements at their site for the employees. They can also take the message and make it a focal point for employees to recognize and address how these basic needs can interfere with their ability to fully work safely.

5 – Success is the Fulfillment of Potential: Behavioral Safety Meeting

While this can be a personal mantra, the idea also applies to workplace safety. Every company ultimately strives for zero injuries and zero property damage incidents on a recurring annual basis. While that can be a tough target to hit, it can also be the company’s potential in the realm of workplace safety.

The idea that success is the fulfillment of potentia l can be further discussed at the individual level. From there, cast out how the individual level affects the company on a macro scale. If everyone is fulfilling their potential when it comes to being the safest and most efficient worker they can be, everyone wins.

It is important to drive home the point that fulfillment of potential in just one area does not make someone successful. Someone who is the best dozer operator in the company but cannot get along with others is less successful than an above-average operator who can communicate and work with others.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, but being self-aware of how we can improve as a person is critical to success. This idea can be paired with the larger ripple discussion mentioned above to make for an effective and different safety presentation.

I hope one of the five topics above has got your wheels spinning on different routes you can take on your next safety presentation. Look at all the safety talks or longer articles in the Safety Pro Blog for additional ideas. Any of these ideas can be paired with other ideas to make an effective presentation.

Even if you have a certain topic you have to cover, think outside the box to refresh it. Conducting safety presentations does not have to be stressful!

[Updated 2023] Top 15 PowerPoint Templates to Improve Work Safety

Kritika Saini

1974: The Flixborough disaster, UK’s worst industrial accident. The explosion at the chemical plant killed 28 workers in North Lincolnshire. Almost all the buildings in the neighborhood flattened, further injuring 36 people due to the blast. Multiple investigations exposed that the plant was hastily executed with certain modifications that forged the leak of liquid from one of the plant’s reactors. This led to the creation of flammable hydrocarbons that eventually exploded. 

1984 : Bhopal gas tragedy, one of the worst industrial accidents in India. Due to the negligence of 7 employees, more than 5 lakh people were exposed to the lethal methyl isocyanate. About 3,787 people died the same night, and further 8,000 people passed away as a result of the exposure subsequently. 

2013: West Fertilizer Company explosion. A routine fire in Texas turned into a local disaster when the fertilizer stored on the site exploded. 12 firefighters and 3 civilians were killed, a majority of them were trying to bring the flare under control. Further, 160 people were injured and around 150 buildings collapsed due to the blast. Later, an investigation revealed that the company had been illegally storing 55 tons of ammonium nitrate on-site, along with a further 55 tons of anhydrous ammonia. 

Whether as a result of the disasters mentioned above or on an individual basis, workplace accidents have the potential to alter ordinary people’s lives. An estimate of 2 million men and women die every year due to work-related accidents and diseases. Thus, the spotlight is on the importance of safer design and construction of workplaces; maintenance of site safety; dangers posed to public members, and adherence to legal guidelines for secure storage of dangerous materials. 

No business wants their employees to get hurt on the job. Therefore, employers are obliged to provide a safe working environment for their workers. But for those of you who haven’t dealt with safety, let us first understand its meaning. 

The gist of work safety  

Work safety is the concept that business organizations must implement to recognize hazards in the workplace. It refers to the working environment at a company encompassing the factors that impact all employees’ safety, health, and well-being. 

Despite the number of safety guidelines you set in place, it will be of no use if your employees are not aware and invested in following them.

FAQs on Work Safety

What is workplace safety.

Workplace safety refers to the measures and procedures put in place to ensure the physical and psychological well-being of employees and other individuals in a workplace environment. The primary goal of workplace safety is to prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses that may occur on the job, and to promote a culture of health and safety within the workplace.

Workplace safety covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Hazard identification and risk assessment: identifying potential hazards in the workplace and assessing the risks associated with them.
• Safety policies and procedures: establishing and enforcing policies and procedures to ensure workplace safety, such as emergency evacuation plans, first aid protocols, and safe work practices.
• Training and education: providing employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to work safely, including training on equipment, machinery, and hazardous materials.

Overall, workplace safety is an essential aspect of any workplace, and it is the responsibility of employers and employees to ensure that safety protocols are followed and maintained to prevent accidents and injuries.

What are the 7 safety tips?

There are many safety tips that can be applied in different situations and settings, but here are seven general safety tips that can be helpful in various environments:

• Pay attention to warning signs and signals: Be aware of warning signs and signals that indicate potential hazards and follow them.
• Keep emergency exits clear: Make sure emergency exits are clearly marked and free from obstruction.
• Use personal protective equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE such as helmets, goggles, gloves, and safety shoes when working with hazardous materials or equipment.
• Practice good housekeeping: Keep the workplace clean and free of clutter to reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls.
• Follow safe work practices: Follow established safety procedures and work practices, including using proper lifting techniques and avoiding shortcuts.
• Report hazards and incidents: Report any unsafe conditions, incidents, or injuries to your supervisor or safety team immediately.
• Take care of yourself: Take care of your physical and mental health to ensure that you are alert and able to work safely. Get enough rest, eat well, and take breaks when needed.

Remember that safety is everyone's responsibility, so be aware of your surroundings, follow safety rules and guidelines, and report any hazards or incidents to ensure a safe workplace for all.

What are the three types of safety?

There are three main types of safety:

• Physical Safety: Physical safety refers to protecting people from physical harm, injury, or illness. This includes protection from hazards such as falls, burns, cuts, and other injuries that may result from workplace accidents or exposure to hazardous substances.
• Psychological Safety: Psychological safety refers to creating a work environment that is free from harassment, discrimination, and other forms of negative behavior that can affect employees' mental and emotional well-being. This includes creating a culture of respect, openness, and inclusivity.
• Cybersecurity Safety: Cybersecurity safety refers to protecting digital assets, including information, data, and systems, from unauthorized access, theft, or damage. This includes protecting against cyber threats such as hacking, viruses, and phishing scams.

All three types of safety are essential in ensuring a safe and healthy workplace for employees and protecting a company's assets and reputation.

Introduction This program is designed to help office employees recognize common health and safety hazards in the workplace and take steps to avoid injury and harm. While they may not seem like a dangerous place, many accidents and injuries occur daily in office settings. Small tasks such as using a keyboard, handling paper, entering or exiting a room can cause an injury if one is not cautious. Pay close attention, make changes as necessary and you will find your day at the office much safer and enjoyable.

Introduction • Overview of Training: • Positive Safety Attitude • Security • Slips, Trips and Falls • Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) • Back Safety • Eye Strain • Germs and Bacteria • Chemical Use and Safety • Fire Safety • Miscellaneous Office Hazards • First Aid • Emergency Procedures

Positive Safety Attitudes in the Workplace Winston Churchill once said, “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” A positive safety attitude at the office can make a big difference and benefit you, your coworkers and your company. Employees, who are aware of safety and health related issues and take steps to avoid or eliminate them, are a benefit to the company and their coworkers.

Positive Safety Attitudes in the Workplace • Employees with positive safety attitudes: • Keep alert to their surroundings; • Identify hazards and ways to prevent them; • Stay focused on the task at hand; • Always observe safety rules and procedures (even if it takes a little longer); and • Take personal responsibility to ensure the safety of themselves as well as their co-workers.

Positive Safety Attitudes in the Workplace • Employees with a negative safety attitude can also make a big difference. Unfortunately, it is not the kind of difference which leads to a safe and healthy work environment. Employees with negative safety attitudes: • Are complacent with what they are doing and take short cuts that are not safe for themselves or others around them; and • Are distracted by their surroundings, don't pay close enough attention to detail, or don't follow safety rules and procedures.

Security • You can take many steps to help secure your safety at work. Whenever possible always enter and leave work with a coworker. This is especially true for employees who arrive or leave work when it is dark outside. • Park in well-lit areas, especially if in a garage. • Have your car keys ready before you exit your building. • Lock vehicle at all times. • Look in your windows before getting into your car. • Keep office back doors and other low-traffic doors closed and secured from entry when feasible. • Report suspicious individuals or activity to your supervisor.

Slips, Trips and Falls • Slips, trips, and falls are one of the most common sources of injuries in the workplace, but are also the easiest hazards to prevent. • Slips are caused predominately by wet surfaces. Always caution others of spills and wet surfaces by immediately “marking” the area with wet floor signs. Take necessary steps to clean the area or notify the janitorial department. Marking and cleaning up wet surfaces immediately will prevent some workplace injuries. • Outside entry ways are especially susceptible to being wet during adverse weather conditions. It is best to have carpet mats located just inside all entryways to wipe your shoes on as you enter from outside. Keep an umbrella canister just inside the door to place wet umbrellas and a “wet floor” sign nearby.

Slips, Trips and Falls • Slip resistant mats should be placed in break rooms near the sink to avoid slipping. • Not all slips are caused by the surface itself, but may be caused by the employee's shoes. Employees should wear slip resistant shoes whenever possible, especially those working in areas which are prone to be wet.

Slips, Trips and Falls • Often the causes of trips are easily identifiable. It is important to remove such hazards or address them to lessen the possibility of harm. • Keep walking paths clear of obstacles. Not only can such items cause someone to trip, but they can also hinder or prevent escape in the event of a fire or other emergency. • Poorly lit work areas can make it difficult to see potential tripping objects, as well as cause strain on your eyes. Keep work areas well lit and replace burned out bulbs.

Slips, Trips and Falls • Cables, extension cords and even carpet runners can be a danger in the office. Reroute cords and cables which cross pathways. When this isn’t feasible, you must secure such cables and cords to the ground with tape or by other means. • Report any flooring, which is loose, to your supervisor. Loose tiles in restrooms, break rooms and kitchens should be replaced or repaired. Torn or frayed carpet should also be replaced. Cover such areas with a mat until repaired. • While not always common, uneven walkways, usually in doorways, can cause you to trip when you aren’t expecting the change in elevation or if you are distracted. Uneven walkways should be marked with proper warning signs.

Slips, Trips and Falls The risk of falling is present when working at any elevation. Falls can also be the result of slips and trips. In an office setting, employees often use a chair as a ladder or stepping stool. This can be very dangerous. Never use a chair as a means of reaching a higher elevation. Always use an appropriate ladder anytime you are performing a task at a higher elevation, even if you are just hanging a picture or adjusting something on the wall.

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) Musculoskeletal disorders are illnesses that gradually damage muscles, tendons and nerves in the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck and back. No job is exempt from the risk of MSD, whether it is construction, cashier, mechanic, or office employees. Different MSDs can occur depending upon the type of work and workplace. Whether certain work activities put an employee at risk of injury often depends on how long (the duration), how often (the frequency), and how intense (the magnitude) the employee's exposure to the risk factors in the activity.

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) • Musculoskeletal Disorders are commonly caused by: • Repetitive motions such as typing or using a computer mouse; • Awkward working positions; and • Long periods of time sitting or standing in one position.

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) • Many companies use ergonomics to help prevent Musculoskeletal Disorder. Ergonomics deals with designing and arranging items/equipment people use so the person and items work together efficiently and safely. Some of the ways employees can help minimize Musculoskeletal Disorders include: • Avoid repetitive motions. • Alternate positions frequently. • Take regular breaks. Get up from your desk and move around the office area. Avoid sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time. • Use wrist and arm supports when typing on the keyboard. • Adjust chairs for comfort and good posture.

Back Safety • Back injuries can be very painful and keep you from enjoying every day normal activities. Lifting the wrong way as well as using bad posture when sitting or standing can cause serious injury to your back. • When sitting at your desk, sit up with back straight and shoulders back. Your buttocks should touch the back of the chair. Bend your knees at right angles and keep your feet flat on the floor. Avoid sudden twists and turns. Instead turn your whole body.

Back Safety • Use proper lifting techniques whenever you lift an object. Even lifting something as light as an office paper shredder can cause a back injury, if not lifted properly. • - Test object to verify it is not too heavy for one person to pick up. • - Plan a direct route to carry the object to its new location. • - Bend at your hips and knees while maintaining a straight back. • - Keep feet shoulder width apart. • - Tighten your stomach. • - Get a good grip on the object. • - Lift the object close to the body. • - Lift with your legs.

Eye Strain • Office employees tend to spend many hours in front of computer screens, conference monitors and personal tablets which can cause eye strain. Other possible sources of eye strain include reading for long periods of time, poor lighting, excessive lighting and incorrect prescription glasses. Eye strain can cause painful headaches, blurred vision and burning in the eyes. Just as it is necessary to give other parts of your body rest breaks you should also do the same for your eyes. The following are some steps you can take to reduce eye strain at work: • Adjust the lighting to maximize illumination and • minimize glare; • Take breaks and step away from the task. Stretch your arms, back, neck and legs. Walk to other areas and allow your eyes to focus on different objects at different distances;

Eye Strain • Briefly look away from the task into other rooms or out a window; • Consciously blink several times; • Close your eyes and massage your temples for a short period of time; and • Adjust the distance of your computer screen or reading material from your eyes. You can also increase the text size on your computer. • If you continue to experience eye pain, loss of vision and/or irritation, you should see a doctor. You may be experiencing something more than eye strain and an eye examination should be performed.

Germs and Bacteria It is important to keep work areas clean of germs and bacteria which can cause illness and lead to time off from work, visits to the doctor and even more serious consequences. While most people understand the restroom contains germs, many don’t realize the desk they sit at usually harbors more germs and harmful bacteria than the restroom. Office kitchens, break rooms and conference rooms are also areas with high levels of contamination. Anytime you have an area or object which is used by many people the risk of contamination is high.

Germs and Bacteria • To reduce the risk of contamination: • Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly. • Wipe down all areas and items at your desk with disinfectant wipes including your desk phone, mouse, keyboard, desk handles, stapler, writing utensils, chairs and light switches, as well as your cell phone. • Use disinfectant wipes throughout the kitchen including: faucet handles, microwave buttons and handles, refrigerator handle, vending machine buttons, can openers, cabinet handles and doors and other items not mentioned. • Use disposable cups and plates when possible. Otherwise, personally wash all dishes and eating utensils before and after use.

Chemical use and Safety Chemical safety is just as important in the office as it is in industrial settings. Printer ink, toner and white-out are just a few of the chemicals found in office workplaces. Use caution and care when handling. Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for use and disposal. Additionally, office kitchens and restrooms have chemicals which are used on a daily basis. Make sure all chemicals are properly labeled. Follow safety rules and guidelines located on the containers of chemicals. Never put any type of chemical in a spray bottle without indicating on the bottle what it contains. Keep Safety Data Sheets on hand for every chemical present and make sure all employees have access to them at all times, in case of an emergency. Simple household chemicals can be very dangerous when mixed improperly or used in the wrong amounts.

Fire Safety Fire hazards are present everywhere. Prevention is the best defense against fire. Keep all flammable and combustible material away from heat sources which might cause a fire. Candles should not be used at work. Other items used around the office which could cause a fire include coffee makers, individual coffee warmers, space heaters, and oil burners. Many times employees forget and leave such items turned on overnight. Follow your company’s rules concerning these hazards. Smoke only in designated areas.

Fire Safety • In the event a fire should occur, you need to know the correct emergency procedures to follow. Remember the three A’s: Activate, Assist and Attempt. • Activate the fire alarm and/or call 911. • Assist others in exiting the building. Knowing all available fire exits can save your life. Always take the stairs to exit a building during an emergency and not an elevator. Know the designated meeting area to report to after exiting the building. • Attempt to extinguish the fire • - You should only attempt to fight a fire when: • - The fire is small and contained; • - You are safe from toxic smoke; • - You have a means of escape; and • - Your instincts tell you it is OK.

Fire Safety You must know how to use an extinguisher before attempting to extinguish a fire. Make sure you are using the correct extinguisher or it could actually spread the fire. Use the PASS system: Pull the pin by the handle; Aim the hose of the extinguisher at the base of the fire; Squeeze the trigger; then Sweep back and forth.

Miscellaneous Office Hazards • There are many other possible safety hazards located throughout the office. Often employees don’t give them a second thought because most are everyday items people have been using since elementary school. Here are just a few things you should be cautious with: • Scissors – Contain sharp blades and pointed ends. Use common sense when cutting and storing. When carrying, hold by the closed blades and keep to your side. • Paper Cutters – Same as with scissors, they contain a sharp blade. Keep fingers clear of the blade and use as directed by the manufacturer. • File Cabinets – Load from the bottom up. Top-heavy file cabinets can and will tip over on you. Never open more than one drawer at a time and always close the drawers when done.

Miscellaneous Office Hazards • Shelves – Do not overload storage shelves beyond their weighted capacity. Think safety when placing items on shelves. Always use an appropriate ladder when reaching for any shelf above shoulder height. • Pencils and Pens – When walking never carry with the sharpened end pointed out. Keep down to your side. • Staplers – Keep fingers clear of the staple. When removing staples use a staple remover and not your fingernail.

Miscellaneous Office Hazards • Electrical items – Desk lamps, radios, pencil sharpeners and computers are just a few of the possible electrical items which might be sitting on your desk. All can be the source of an electrical shock. Check the wires periodically to ensure they are not frayed. Keep cords clear of chairs and your feet. Never overload an outlet and use proper surge protectors. • Chairs – Never lean back in your chair unless it is designed to do so. Inspect your chair occasionally for loose screws, cracked supports or other possible damage. Replace broken chairs and dispose of properly.

First Aid Injuries can happen anytime and anywhere. Be prepared and know beforehand what to do in case someone needs first aid. First aid is limited care for an illness or injury until trained medical attention can arrive. Know the location of all first aid kits and who is CPR certified in your department. If you are unsure of this information talk to your supervisor. In an emergency, call 911 for medical help. Provide as much information about the injured person to help the Emergency Medical Techs when they arrive. Regardless of the severity of the injury, report it to your employer. The accident will then be investigated to help prevent it from happening again.

Emergency Procedures • Make sure you know and understand all your company’s rules and procedures regarding emergencies. At the minimum you should know: • Appropriate personnel to contact in case of any emergency; • Location of storm/tornado shelter; • Location of all fire exits; • Location of fire alarms, fire extinguishers, SDS binders and first aid kits; along with • Phone numbers of emergency responders.
