How To Keep Yourself Safe From Office Injuries

5/17/2021

​Injuries are very unlikely to happen if you are in an office set up. For the most part, employees are usually glued to their desks, taking calls or assisting customers. But as we all know, accidents are inevitable, and they can happen everywhere. This article will help keep you from common office injuries.
Be aware of common office injuries. 
As an employee, you should know what office injuries you can get yourself into depending on your business nature. Knowing what to avoid can save you from these accidents. 

For example, if your company deals with hazardous materials, injuries related to toxic fumes would be common. If you work on large operation floors, being hit by improperly placed objects on shelves can also cause injuries. 

Watch your steps. 
You might think this is too simple to be considered a tip to protect yourself from office injuries. But you have to admit, not looking at your pathway has caused you trouble at least once or twice. Watch where you’re going, not only for yourself but for others whom you might end up stumbling into. 

Use appropriate equipment. 
If you need to reach something too high, neither your desk nor your chair should be used. Most office chairs have wheels so you can move comfortably, but using them as a ladder can be dangerous. It only takes a few minutes to ask for assistance from your admin, so don’t risk your safety in these cases. 

Sit properly. 
You’ve probably read tons of research stating how sitting properly can reduce health risks and improve your posture. Not only is that true, but sitting properly can also keep you from possible injuries. Of course, it’s easier to reach your pens on the desk by just stretching or bending your chair since you wouldn’t have to stand up. What you don’t know is that doing this often can weaken the chair and cause it to break easily. 

Conclusion
Besides knowing these, it’s best to understand what your company can do if you get into an office injury. Most companies include workers' compensation insurance to cover any accidents that can happen to their employees during work. It’s a good practice to ask your management what kind of workers' compensation insurance they have in place.
