CHAPTER 3

WORKSTATION SAFETY

1. Applying safety practices at your workstation will help prevent accidents and
injuries.

• Place all the scissors and other sharp
object from the edge of your

workstation so they will not be

knocked off easily.
• Stored pencils flat or with points down

• Use staples remover to remove

stapler rather than use fingernail.
• Don’t examine jammed stapler by

holding it near your eyes or testing
over your finger.

• Keep drawers neat and avoid

cluttered to prevent hidden pencils,
pins, or scissors pierce your hands.

• Sharp objects such as pins and

thumbtacks should be placed in
closed containers.

• Never reach blindly into a desk

drawer or file drawer, even if you are
rushed or are talking to someone.

• Do not push a drawer shut by placing

your hand at the top or side of the

drawer.

• A chair mat is a vinyl pad placed
underneath the chair to eliminate

wear on the carpet from rolling the
chair.
