Office / Administrative Safety Checklist

Workstation & Ergonomics

Chairs are adjusted for proper posture and support. Monitors are positioned at eye level to reduce strain. Keyboards and mice are placed comfortably. Cables are organized to prevent tripping hazards.

Office Environment

Emergency exits and evacuation routes are clear. Fire extinguishers and first aid kits are accessible. Lighting and ventilation are adequate. Walkways and common areas are kept clear.

Well-being

Regular breaks are taken to reduce eye and posture strain. Workload and stress are managed appropriately. Electrical equipment is used safely and maintained. Incidents and concerns are reported promptly.

Fire & Evacuation

Keep exits and fire-escape routes clear at all times. Know extinguisher locations and how to use them. Assign fire wardens and assembly points per floor. Test alarm and detection systems on schedule.

Electrical & Equipment

Avoid overloading sockets and extension leads. Inspect chargers, leads, and adapters before use. Switch off and unplug equipment left unattended. Report flickering, heat, or smell from fittings.

Slips, Trips & Falls

Secure cables and leads away from walkways. Clean spills promptly and use signage. Keep stairs and steps clear and well lit. Use step stools, not chairs, to reach height.

Security & Access

Wear or display ID and challenge unknown visitors. Escort guests and sign them in at reception. Avoid tailgating through secure doors. Lock screens and secure documents when away.

Wellbeing & Stress

Encourage regular screen breaks and eye rest. Support ergonomic setups and adjustments. Promote manageable workloads and early help. Provide quiet or recovery space where possible.
