"Office Safety" by Jim Thompson, emphasizes that office

environments, much like industrial settings, pose significant safety risks.

Thompson highlights various common hazards, including the danger of

electrocution from faulty equipment and wet floors, the importance of clear

floor markings to prevent collisions with swinging doors, and the perils of

malfunctioning office machinery like paper cutters. He also points out the risk

of tripping over open file cabinet drawers and the necessity of safety

mechanisms for filing cabinets to prevent them from tipping. Finally, the

author underscores the potential for extreme accidents, citing an example of a

fatal fall through a skyscraper window, reinforcing the call for regular safety

audits and dedicated safety teams in office spaces to mitigate these dangers.
