Office safety

DuPont Sustainable Solutions has developed a new safety training program to help employees identify and avoid four common office safety issues: falls, ergonomic injuries, being struck by objects and electrocution. In OSI: Office Safety Investigation, Brandon, a young employee and the newest member of the safety committee, explains how these incidents occur and how they can be prevented.

The program follows Brandon as he helps other committee members investigate recent workplace mishaps and develops video presentations that illustrate at-risk behaviors, unsafe conditions and safety checklists.
