The office is becoming an
obstacle course cluttered
with hazards to life, limb and
peace of mind.
While comparatively few
people die of injuries suf
fered in office accidents, the
rate of injury and loss of
man-hours are high enough
to cause concern to
management as well as
safety experts.
The Department of Safety
and Research of the Com
bined Insurance Company of
America reported that while
about 400 people die as a
result of office mishaps in
the United States every year,
thousands are injured when
they trip over open file
cabinet drawers and electric
wires, fall off their chairs,
slip on paper clips and coffee

drawers thoughtlessly left
open, fingers are smashed in
desk drawers and bums are
suffered from coffee spills
and mishandled cigarettes.
Most of the office ac
cidents result from
carelessness, Combined’s
research showed, while an
alarming number are caused
by poor housekeeping. Just
about all could be prevented,
according to the safety
experts, with a little
thoughtfulness and a lot
more tidiness.
A total of 46.5 per cent of
all job-related accidents
occur in offices, says a
Prentice-Hall personnel
labor relations report, while
only 36.4 per cent involve
blue-collar workers.
Automation has eliminated
much of the danger in heavy
industrial jobs, Prentice Hall
said, but when it comes to
the white-collar areas of the
world of work, job safety and
health are too rarely con
sidered.
The company’s study bl its
own offices has found that
falls are the greatest single
cause of disabling accidents.
The falls occur most often in

What can be done about
accidents in the office? Quite
a bit, if the workers are
willing, according to
Combined’s researchers.
Here are some other rules
recommended by Com
bined’s Department of
Safety and Research;
1. Follow the same good
housekeeping practices at
work that you do at home.
Cleanliness and orderliness
should be the rule of life.
2. Always think of the other
person as well as of yourself.
Work as defensively as you
drive in the interest of
safety.
hallways and work areas
when employes run, slip or
trip over wires, desk
drawers, file cabinet
drawers and other objects.
The National Safety Council
reports that many falls occur
on stairs and escalators and
at elevator entrances.
A spokesman for the
Medical Department of
American Airlines reported
that falls from chairs are a
special hazard among that
organization’s deskbound
personnel. Many workers,
particularly stenographers
and secretaries, have a habit
of sitting on the edges of
their chairs, he said.
“The first thing they
know,” he observed, “the
chairs slip out from under
them and they land on the
floor, often sustaining back
injuries.”
The safety office of the
NASA Lewis Research
Center estimated that in

3. Keep desk drawers
closed except when they
must be used. And keep an
eye on file drawers to make
sure they are closed. Always
be on the lookout for a
potential hazard.
4. If you spill something,
clean it up or arrange to
have it mopped up.
5. Take care to pick up all
clutter even something as
small as a paper clip, which
can cause a nasty fall.
6. Walk, do not run, as you
pursue your daily rounds in
the office, and stop, look and
listen as carefully as you*
can.
