Purpose
The purpose of this
chapter and its associated appendix is to provide individuals with Jefferson
Lab’s office safety requirements. Though not considered the most hazardous of
environments, hazard
issues do exist in an office setting and are to be addressed
appropriately in order to ensure the safety and health of individuals,
equipment and the environment.
This program satisfies applicable federal, state, and local requirements as outlined in ES&H Manual Chapter 2410 Appendix T1 Hazard Issues List.

Scope
Because of
the unique environment at Jefferson Lab, no two office environments are alike. If an area combines office space with other work, all hazard
mitigation measures apply to all workers within the area. This chapter
and its appendices provide mitigation requirements for the hazard issues associated
with typical office work.

Expectations

Office Safety Requirements
Most office hazards are easily controlled by using common sense; following
manufacturer and product label recommendations;
and enforcing good housekeeping techniques. However, some
hazard issues can only be controlled during day-to-day operations with the
cooperation of the individuals involved. ES&H Manual Chapter 6105 Appendix T1 Office Safety
Requirements
outlines the process steps to be used to ensure office safety.
