Employees Contribution towards Safer Of ce Space As an extension of series of articles in <strong>GHCL</strong> <strong>Digest</strong> under the umbrella of Sustainability, this time we would like to expand our view on how each employee can contribute in making of ces a safer place to work. Safety is of prime importance for the entire organization and not just limited to plant/operational areas. With this article we would like to highlight few points which each employee can follow and minimize hazards present in an of ce setup. It is fairly common to link workplace safety to factories and worksites lled with heavy machinery and equipment, where employees often are required to engage in strenuous manual labour. Of ces are generally ignored as most of the work is completed while sitting in a chair, or in a relatively controlled environment. It is generally believed that no serious incident can happen in of ces. However, a surprising number of hazards can be present in an of ce setting. According to Bureau of Labour Statistics, U.S approx. 76000 disabling injuries per annum have occurred in the of ce setting. The most frequent types of incidents are fallssuch as chairs, stairs, or ladders; tripping; or slippery surfaces. strains from overexertion, striking or struck by objects, being caught in or between objects, and falling objects are all common sources of injury in an of ce setting. Many of these injuries could have been prevented had the employees recognized the risks and implemented simple workplace modi cations to help mitigate them. Few benign suggestions to reduce the risk in of ce spaces: - Avoid piling: Files and various items are sometimes piled in walkways / desk area and can create a tripping hazard. All materials should be stored in their designated areas and prevent clutter in walkways or desk areas. 5S implementation in of ce set up can go in long way in dealing with this issue. - Avoid fall hazard: Standing up on rolling chairs or unstable surfaces to reach elevated heights can create fall hazard. Only designated stepladders should be used with blocks to avoid the hazard. - Shut the drawer: Injuries have also been reported due open drawers. Many a times the drawers are not completely shut and can cause the struck or tripping injury. - Workstation Ergonomics: Most commonly, the of ce environment poses risk of injuries related to ergonomics. Employees are mostly seated for major part of the day in the same posture working of computers. They are prone to strains and other injuries related to posture and repetitive movement. a. The best way is to arrange the workstation to t individual's need: · · Adjust the height of the chair's seat such that the thighs are horizontal while the feet are at on the oor. · Adjust the seat pan depth such that your back is supported by the chair back rest while the back of the knee is
