INTRODUCTION
We usually say “be careful” to friends and family on a regular basis. We don’t often say “be careful” to co-workers but, honestly, we do want them to be careful. When most people think of workplace safety, their minds go to factory or warehouse workers wearing hard hats and using forklifts. We can't forget safety for office employees and prevention is the key to staying safe.
