ABSTRACT

Office environments are considered by those who work in them and those who are familiar with them to be workplaces with low risk of injury and illness. However, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) still has the responsibility to ensure that office work spaces are safe from injuries and illnesses. This means that employers and employees should expect OSHA to inspect and enforce its regulations in the same manner as with any other industry. This means that office workplaces are not exempt from the safety and health standards that OSHA has promulgated.
