Head Injuries

Although there are stringent health and safety guidelines in place stating that materials and objects need to be stored and stacked in such a way that they is not likely to fall and cause personal injury, some offices are a potential hotbed for head injuries with their shelves of inadequate strength over-stacked with bulging files and stationery.

It is down to employers to check shelving installations regularly and encourage employees to report any damage in order to identify problems and take necessary action to protect their staff from sustaining work injuries.
