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

There are some good photographs here: http://www.safetyphoto.co.uk/ Go to 'Photos 1' and look under 'offices'.

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

There is a video/dvd which concentrates on office safety by the FPA called Stay Alive from 9 to 5 - a guide to avoiding accident and injury in the office. I have used this is risk assessment training for managers when looking at office risk

Excellent, thanks for those examples and the videos were great but I don't think I'd get away with using them on this presentation. I do have another audience in mind though who would certainly appreciate them. I'll definately be using some of the examples tomorrow though.
Thanks again
David

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
