Injuries from slips,trips and falls, lifting and carrying heavy loads ie filing boxes, and poor equipment design are just some of the ways office workers can be harmed at work.

Leaving filing cabinet draws half open, carpets that have a small hole in, hot water from the urn.

Each employee needs to know where the emergency exits, first aid kits, fire extinguishers and all other safety tools are located and the evacuation procedures.

Make sure a list of emergency phone numbers has been posted  on a notice board, this must be kept up to date also. It is also important if your staff have contact with the public to train them on how to handle potential confrontations or threats.
