Office Safety

While it is true that even mundane tasks, such as walking, carrying supplies, and sitting in a chair, may cause injuries, there are ways you can avoid becoming injured at work. Learn about the risks your office may pose, as well as how to best avoid them, through this office safety training lesson.

Understanding the risks is the first step in reducing or eliminating them. For example, it is important you know the risk of walking without looking where you are going, you may trip and fall, or the risk of staring at a computer screen for too long, eye strain and headaches. Office workers are twice as likely as non-office workers to suffer a debilitating injury as a result of a fall, and if you were unaware of the risks, you might be one of those statistics. Learn the simple safety precautions you can take to stay safe at work.

Office safety also pertains to more serious injuries and situations, such as fire safety, which you will learn about here as well. Utilize the information presented in this video-based e-learning to avoid the risks of injury hiding in your office, and thus be a safer employee.
