New safety training required for all office personnel

OSHA requires that employers provide a workplace free from recognized hazards. While office personnel experience fewer accidents than industrial workers, office accidents and emergencies do occur and can lead to serious injuries. The Office of Environmental Health & Safety already trains employees in high risk areas but will be expanding this to include all office  personnel in spring of 2025. Employees in this category will be required to complete online training modules on emergency & fire preparedness, fire extinguisher use, office ergonomics, and preventing slips, trips & falls. Fire extinguisher training will be required annually. All others are a one-time requirement.
