Office Safety

Is danger on your mind when you go into the office every day? While it is not the quintessential dangerous environment, the risk of accident and injury is still present. In fact, millions of people each year require medical attention because of office related injuries. These injuries primarily occur while performing common everyday activities, activities we often dismiss as mundane and harmless. Through the course of this training video, you will take a closer look at the activities within an office environment many seem to overlook, as well as the hazards they produce.

Office safety encompasses the areas both inside and outside of the office. You need to be aware of potential dangers lurking in public places such as parking lots and sidewalks. Weather and darkness are just two of the factors affecting the level of safety found in these areas; learn to identify other factors and hazards as well as how to protect yourself from them via the information presented in this lesson.

When you are at work, you may be asked to perform duties posing some risks to your health. You may have to lift heavy boxes and equipment, or in more extreme situations, be asked to deal with hazardous materials. The potential for danger may be readily apparent here, but dangers arise even in the most mundane activities. Typing excessively may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, and poor posture may lead to back problems. Through this Video On Demand training you will better understand the risks found within your office, as well as how to avoid them. Use this information and create a safer, and healthier, working environment.
