2 OBJECTIVE Recognize potential hazards in office environments and learn to eliminate these hazards.
3 Introduction Office environments are generally a safe and healthy place to work, however, even without the extreme hazards of other industries, offices can still pose a unique group of hazardous conditions. These hazards often result from ergonomic issues, poorly designed office environments, vision problems and general ambiance. By knowing the potential hazards in your work environment, you can help protect your health, safety and well being.
4 Office Safety: Best Practices Good housekeeping is essential. Never leave desk or cabinet drawers open. Never use chairs or desks to reach an overhead item. Use safe lifting practices. Bend your knees and lift with your legs. Ensure your computer is in a position that will eliminate eye strain. Always know your exit path in case of emergency.
5 Office Ergonomics: Design factors, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by minimizing operator fatigue and discomfort. Workstations should be designed to reduce excessive bending and stretching. Office furniture should be fully adjustable, to accommodate any employee. Chairs should support the lower back and an adjustable height. Computer monitors should be placed directly in front of the user, with the top of the monitor at eye level to avoid neck strain. Keyboards should be elevated in the back, to keep wrists in a neutral position.
6
7 Avoiding Eye Strain In an office setting, your eyes are at risk of becoming strained from looking at computer screens for a long period of time. Use these tips to help prevent future eye problems.
8 Back Safety Avoid lifting if you can. Utilize hand trucks or rolling carts for heavy objects. Keep heavy objects off of the floor, to reduce bending. Test the weight of an object before lifting, and enlist help if the object is too heavy. Plan the lift prior to lifting. Determine where you are moving the object. Bend at the knees and keep a straight back, carrying the load between the shoulder and waist.
9 Prevention techniques: Environmental Health and Safety Slips, trips and falls. Ensure electrical cords are out of areas of travel. Clean any spills immediately, or mark with appropriate signage until the spill is cleaned. Do not block passageways. Keep office areas free of clutter. Watch where you walk; look for loose carpet, broken stair edges and other tripping hazards. When using stairs, do not carry large loads that could obstruct your vision. Report any potential safety hazards immediately, to prevent other accidents.
10
11 Office Environment Office layout should incorporate work flow, safety and health and convenience. Offices should provide adequate room for employees to enter and exit, especially in the event of an emergency. Sometimes illumination in your office can be inadequate or interfere with your vision, ensure this doesn t happen by keeping illumination levels consistent, and avoiding sources of glare. Never run in office areas, and keep to the right while walking in passageways. Employees should remain clear of doors and stand away from the door swinging path.
12 Noise Noise in office settings is generally not hazardous, but distracting and may interfere with your work. Here are some things to remember to help reduce noise: Keep noisy items away from areas that employees use phones, or require a quiet atmosphere. Schedule noisy activities at times that will have less of an effect on other employees. Ensure all mechanical equipment is maintained to prevent any loose parts from making noise or squeaking. Refer to the chart to see if you may have any noise in your office that could be hazardous.
13 Do not overload sockets, ask for additional outlets to be installed. Environmental Health and Safety Electrical Hazards If any cables become warm to the touch, this could indicate a fire hazard. Unplug and report the issue. Replace damaged or frayed electrical cords. Cables should never be ran under carpet or rugs, or in walkways. Never use an extension cord in an area permanently. Extension cords are designed for temporary use. Never daisy-chain extension cords. See picture for reference.
14 Indoor Air Quality Indoor air quality is the study of pollutant levels within the office environment. Often, health symptoms associated with indoor air quality are vague and similar to symptoms that can occur from conditions at home. Usually, contaminants levels are far too low to require occupational evaluation, however, if you are concerned about the contaminant levels in your office, take a look at some of the factors that may require further investigation: Office plans changing to accommodate more employees. Building renovations, such as installation of new carpet, and painting. Blocked air vents. Water leaks / spills that could lead to mold growth. Improper waste disposal.
15 Housekeeping Good housekeeping is an important element of accident prevention in offices. Poor housekeeping may lead to fires, injuries to personnel, or unhealthful working conditions. All aisles within the office should be clearly defined and kept free of obstructions. Chairs, files, bookcases and desks must be replaced or repaired if they become damaged. Damaged chairs can be especially hazardous. Materials stored within supply rooms must be neatly stacked and readily reached by adequate aisles. Under no circumstances will materials be stacked within 18 inches of ceiling fire sprinkler heads. Materials shall not be stored so that they project into aisles or passageways in a manner that could cause persons to trip or could hinder emergency evacuation.
16 Emergency Procedures In the event of an emergency, always follow your office procedures for evacuation. Do not run to exits, walk and stay alert. In the event of a fire, only attempt to use a fire extinguisher if you feel confident, and the area of the fire is less than the size of a small trash can.
