7 tips for a safer office



7 tips for a safer office


The need for safe practices extends to all areas of a workplace – including offices. Here from Robin and Robin Healthcare are seven simple steps employers can take to help office workers stay injury-free.


1. Clear walkways of boxes, files and other items that can be tripping hazards. Prevent clutter by encouraging workers to put items back in their proper location.


2. Don’t stretch electrical cords across walkways or hide them under rugs. Instead, anchor and cover the cords, and do your best to keep them out of high-traffic areas.


3. Don’t allow workers to stand on chairs to reach for something up high. Place stepladders around the office for workers to use.


4. Install domed mirrors at intersections so employees can see if someone is approaching from a different direction, making collisions less likely to happen. Consider installing windows in stairwell doors as well.


5. Use skid-resistant materials such as carpet on floors to help reduce slips, trips and falls.


6. Adjust employees’ workstations to fit them specifically. This includes monitor stands, keyboard trays and chairs.


7. Encourage employees to work ergonomically, including placing desk items close enough to eliminate the need to stretch to reach for them.
