Three Useful Tips For Preventing Common Workplace Accidents

Don’t leave anything to chance where workplace safety is concerned. It’s an all-encompassing challenge, but here are three solid tips to start with today:

• Keep your floors clear of all cords and wires. Lots of office injuries are due to people’s tripping over electrical cords that they didn’t see while walking through the workplace.

• Secure all desk and filing cabinets to the floors or wall. You don’t want them to tip over if they become overloaded or unbalanced, or topple in the event of a storm or earthquake.

• Keep storage areas clean. Shelves should be organized and orderly. Don’t leave boxes or equipment on the floor. Stored items should be clearly labeled so employees can find what they’re looking for easily, without having to move things around or clutter up the area.
