Does anyone have any examples of accidents occuring in offices. I'm doing a presentation shortly on Managers responsibilities for H&S but most of my examples are industry based so often not seen as relevant by Managers in an office. Any help gratefully recieved.

Thanks

David

Slips, trips and falls - cabling, other people's bags and belongings, walking into areas and not bothering to switch the lights on

Manual Handling - despite training - moving furniture, lifting stationery boxes, carying laptops etc

Kitchens - burns and scalds - coffee making, porridge, dropping and spilling hot drinks

Bruising - catching self on edges of furniture, keys left in equipment, things falling off shelves and hitting people.

Here are just a few realities from the working office to keep you going

This is amusing but not sure whether you can use it an presenetation.

but you do need to look at what it happening in the backgrounds.

Brilliant videos. On this theme, but perhaps of no use to David the investigation dvd with the new style MS is excellent,

Steve,

of course it's been tried. It's the traditional management way of handling safety. Wait until someone breaks a rule then give them a good kicking.

Never works
