Office Safety
Course Length: 30 minutes
Overview: Employers value their employees and want them to leave work in the same way they arrive-safely. Yet, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 2.9 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported by private industry employers in 2015.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) takes safety very seriously. Under the General Duty Clause, employers are required to provide their employees with a workplace "free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm". Additionally, 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D states walking-working surfaces be "kept in clean, orderly, and sanitary conditions".
But, it's important to remember safety is not just the employer's responsibility. Employees also play a critical role in creating and maintaining a safe office working environment for themselves and their coworkers.
Office Safety is designed to help office workers recognize, avoid, and eliminate hazards in their workplace. Specifically, it will teach them to take the proper measures to ensure their own safety and the safety of others.
