New technology brings with it a set of health and safety concerns
These concerns must be addressed to have a safe and healthy work environment

3. Falls = The Most Common Office Accident
The following can help stop a fall before it happens:
Be sure the pathway is clear before you walk
Close drawers completely after every use
Avoid excessive bending, twisting, and leaning backwards while seated
Secure electrical cords and wires away from walkways
Always use a stepladder for overhead reaching
Clean up spills immediately
Pickup objects co-workers may have left on the floor
Report loose carpeting or damaged flooring
Never carry anything that obscures your vision
Wear stable shoes with non-slip soles

4. Strains and Overexertion
Small, light loads (stacks of files, boxes of computer paper, books) can wreak havoc on your back, neck, and shoulders if you use your body incorrectly when you lift them
When lifting from the floor, squat close to the load and lift by straightening your legs.
Let your leg muscles, not your back muscles, do the work

5. Workstation Ergonomics
