ABSTRACT

Industrial Safety and Health for Administrative Services deals with information; finance and insurance; real estate, rental, and leasing; professional, scientific, and technical; management of companies and enterprises; and some aspects of administrative and support sectors. These sectors handle a myriad of administrative and management tasks mainly in office environments, but also in other types of locales; for example, telecommunication installers who are subject to the same hazards as infrastructure workers. Also, printing operations use pressure, collators, binders, and cutting equipment. As can be seen one size does not fit all. But, the majority of hazards faced by the workforce are electrical, falls, ergonomic issues, equipment, machines, and lifting. Since offices are normally set in closed environs, there are several health issues with regard to contact with others, ventilation, and ongoing construction work. An office should normally be a safe workplace, but this does not seem to be the case.
