OFFICE SAFETY PROCEDURES The following suggestions can help to make your office environment a safe one: • Don't place computers, calculators, or adding machines too close to the edge of the desk or other surfaces. • Machines that tend to move during operation should be fastened down or secured with rubber feet or mats. • Electric office machines should be equipped with three -prong electrical cords. • Avoid stretching cords between desks or across aisles. • Never store combustible office materials in HVAC closets or electrical rooms. • Do not permit floor coverings to become tripping hazards. • Keep floors clean. Clean up all spills on floors immediately. Pick up papers, pencils, clips and any objects that will cause tripping hazards. • Place wastebaskets where they will not present a tripping hazard. • Never stack anything so high as to obstruct vision. Make sure that stacks are not within 18 inches of ceiling sprinkler heads. • Electrical cords and phone lines should be secured to prevent tripping hazards. • Know where building emergency exits are located. These areas should not be used for storage. • File drawers should be closed immediately after use so no one can run into or trip over them. Only one drawer should be opened at a time to prevent the cabinet from falling forward. • Entryway steps should be marked with contrasting colors. • Be sure all electrical equipment is grounded and the cord is in good condition. If a machine is shocking or smoking, unplug it and immediately report the defect. • The use of portable electric, gas or other heating devices is prohibited. • Be cautious as you approach doors that open in your direction. • Slow your pace when approaching a blind corner in a hallway. • Do not run in corridors. • Office tables, chairs, and desks must be maintained in good condition and remain free from sharp corners, projecting edges wobbly legs, etc. • Never use chairs, desks or other furniture as a makeshift ladder. Use a stepladder for climbing but do not use the top two steps. • Do not lean forward in a roller chair to pick up an object. • Keep the blades of paper cutters closed when not in use. • Never run power cords under carpet or chair pads. 04/25/16 PDFConvert. 10733. 1.
