Posted on Monday 11 February 2008

The most common office accident is falling down, it also accounts for the most disabling office accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, office workers are as much as 2.5 times more likely to get a disabling injury from a fall than employees that work outside of the office.

There are many office hazards that contribute to falls such as, wet floors, low lighting, loose carpeting and wires. With the number of computers, printers and fax machines used in offices today, the wires seem to be never ending.
