Office Safety and Ergonomics

Office Safety

  • Good housekeeping is a critical component of maintaining a safe office environment.  Keep work areas orderly to prevent falling objects and trip hazards
  • Do not store items in walking paths that could cause someone to trip or fall. 
  • Do not block exit doors and pathways that may impede egress in case of an emergency. 
  • Don't leave file drawers open, always keep them closed unless you are adding or removing items from them. 
  • Do not leave open food containers in your work area, this will attract pests like ants, roaches and mice.  Food should be stored in dedicated storage areas and kept sealed.
