It’s not just paper cuts we are talking about here but a myriad of office hazards! The general belief that the office provides a safe environment in which to work is a fallacy. Many office hazards exist that cause thousands of injuries and health problems. Slippery floors are obvious hazards but a modern office also contains hazards arising from poor lighting, noise and poorly designed furniture and equipment. Additionally, sweeping changes have occurred in workplace establishments as a result of office equipment automation, causing more safety hazards. The nature of office technology itself has produced a whole host of computer related hazards, such as musculoskeletal strains. THE OFFICE IS NOT A SAFE COCOON. TAKE CARE!

These are, back injuries, workplace violence, slips, trips and falls. Teach safety practices to office workers
