What are the dangers of an Office?
Office spaces have many different concerns to account for at all times. From natural disasters to health concerns, and even man-made threats. The different sizes of locations and fields of expertise make each office an area of concern of its own. No situation will ever be of the same danger or fixed the same way. Depending on employees’ demographics, pieces of knowledge, and personal situations, anything can be more or less difficult. This is especially relevant for office spaces attached to warehouses and other industrial settings. This then creates its own set of issues and challenges towards safety and evacuation. Having both sides of this kind of office evacuate at the same time is not always easy. Clear communication along various floors of a building is already challenging at times. When one adds to this manual tasks that are loud and busy, safety is not usually effortless.
How to take appropriate precautions?
In cases where danger may be present, awareness is essential. This is especially relevant in cases where employees are present across different levels and work situations such as warehouses connected to an office space. To minimise risks, anyone present on site should have appropriate safety training. This should be reviewed every few months to ensure it is fresh in everyone’s mind. Doing this allows for easier evacuation and faster reaction time. Moreover, clear safety signaling should be present all throughout the premises. This should include security reminders and important numbers to call in the case of specific issues. Signaling should also allow to find the nearest exit for each location.
It is also essential to have clear communication going at all times, no matter the context. This means communication tools that do not require electricity in case power goes out. This also implies powerful ways to communicate over loud noises or lights in industrial settings.
