Does anyone have any photos/pictures of offices that I could use for a 'spot the unsafe act / condition' scenario please?
We are having kickback from people who say it is impossible to conduct behavioural observations (which they are required to do) in an office environment so need to show them some typical things that they could look out for.
Thanks!

You could have a look round their office and take some photo's if you see anything they are doing at the moment. You can say you're taking photo's for a newsletter or something so they won't suspect anything at the time then can point out what could result in injury etc
i.e. overloaded sockets, mobile phone chargers left switched on at the wall, trailing cables, screen location, lack of footrest for smaller individual, boxes stacked etc....

Amelrose That seems a dodgy strategy. Rather than take a photograph of a potential hazard/risk in an occupied/working office, I would suggest that reducing/removing that risk immediately may be the more sensible option and explain to relevant personnel the potential dangers there and then.
Imagine the scenario should someone trip over a trailing cable which was not remedied during a 'photo session' as not to arouse suspicion within the office in question.
That would be difficult to defend as you were obviously aware of the situation but rather than address it, you took a photo of it!
If that is the track you wish to take, could it not be possible to certainly use the office and 'create' potential hazards when all of the office staff have gone home? - Obviously taking remedial action with anything untoward within the office on completion of the task.

^ Sorry - that's what I meant (too early in the morning when I typed so not fully awake!!)
i.e. stage scenario within their actual office to show how easy something like leaving a cable lying across a walkway is but remove once photo taken..
