Jones Lang LaSalle - Safe Work Procedure - Office Safety
Site Name


1. Purpose: To define a procedure for ergonomic in the workstation set up so as to protect
personnel from possible injuries.

2. Scope: This procedure is applicable to the office workstations.

3. Responsibility:
The Department Manager/ Person in-charge (PIC) and Supervisors shall ensure that
the safe work procedures are followed at the workplace.
The Department Manager shall provide the necessary resources as far as reasonably
practicable to comply with the safe work procedures.

4. Reference:

WSH Act & its subsidiary legislations
A Guide to Workplace Safety and Health by MOM/ WSHC

5. Procedure:

a) Office Ergonomics

Chairs
A person shall try to achieve the angles shown below when sitting at a computer
workstation.

10 | P a g e

When adjusting the height of the chair, the follow criteria shall be met.

a. The forearm shall be horizontal at right angle to the upper arm (creating the 90 degree
b. The elbow shall be just clear of the work surface.
c. The wrist shall be in the neutral (straight) position when you use the keyboard and/ or mouse.

A quick way to check that the chair height is correct for you is to stand in front of the
chair. When at the correct height the front of the seat will be just below your
kneecaps.
Chairs shall be provided with good lumbar support. If the chair does not have, then a
lumber cushion may help to give the support needed.
Sit back in the chair and use the support provided. Do not perch on the edge of the
chair below. Adjust the back support where necessary.




















Arm rest, if provided on the chair, should be padded and adjusted so that your
elbows can rest at your side comfortably to reduce shoulder and back stress.

Keyboards

Keyboards should be light to allow for easy movement but at the same time sit on the
work surface without moving about.
When keying the wrists should be straight (neutral position). This position is
comfortable and reduces stress and pain.


11 | P a g e













Your wrists should be in a neutral position when they are on the middle row of the
alphabet keys. This can be done by either adjusting the keyboard using the legs on the
base of the keyboard or by adjusting the chair.
If you allow your wrists to rest on the work surface in front of the keyboard when typing
you are liable to experience musculoskeletal injury. Wrist rests can be used to
prevent contact with the work surface. A rounded edge surface will minimize injury in
these circumstances.
















Lighting & Monitor

The direction of light and how it will affect a computer user shall be considered in the design of
the workstation.
Ideally when you face the monitor you should be sitting beside or parallel to the window.
In circumstances where glare is experienced from the monitor screen due to artificial lighting in
the office or lights from outside through the windows, one or combination of the following
measures may be taken.
a. Install anti-glare screen on the monitor screen.
b. Install blinds and adjust them properly to reduce the amount of light on the monitor
screen.

12 | P a g e

c. Having a matte finish on walls and desks reduces the amount of reflected light in a work
area.
d. Adjust the monitor screen away from the light source.
e. Use diffuser and soft light.

While too much light may cause glare, low lighting levels may also cause eye strain. Task
lighting may be provided as additional lighting where needed.
The center of the monitor screen should be 4-5 inches below eye level (this equates to having
the top line of text at eye level). This will prevent holding the head in awkward positions to see
the screen.
If an anti-glare screen is installed it must be cleaned regularly to prevent dust build-up.


Mouse
Customize the mouse in the Control Panel of the operating system to your personal
preferences.
If you frequently drag your mouse you can help to reduce muscle soreness in fingers and
hands by locking the drag switch. You then do not have to hold the mouse button down as
you drag.
Ideally the mouse should be on the same level as the keyboard tray (and not on the desk
above and to the side of the tray as is often seen) to prevent arm muscle fatigue.
Your wrist should be straight when using the mouse; any movement should come from the
shoulder and not the wrist.

















If you are an intensive mouse user then try using both hands to use the mouse. This gives
each arm a break.
Ensure that the mouse fit your hand and is comfortable to handle.
Do not use a mouse continuously for long hours. Take regular breaks to rest your muscles.


13 | P a g e

Posture

The position of workstation equipment shall be taken into consideration when designing a
workstation to prevent future problems.
If the body is expected to sit in the same, uncomfortable position for periods of time the
body experiences a number of reactions, including:
a. increased compressive load on the spine
b. reduced blood flow to muscles resulting in compression of soft tissue and associated
numbness and pain
c. increased pooling of blood in the legs and feet which further reduces blood flow
d. holding the body in one position means that muscles have to contract leading to
tiredness and fatigue.
For a comfortable position, the computer workstation should allow you to site with:
a. your head should be held upright to follow the curve of the spine
b. your arms held horizontally with an approximately 90-degree angle at the elbow
c. your wrists in neutral position
d. your thighs parallel to the floor so that the hip angle is 90-degrees
e. your feet should be supported by a foot rest or the floor so that there is a 90- degree
angle at the ankle.
f. the lumbar support of your chair fitting into the small of your back to support
the lower spine and pelvis (this also maintains the natural curve of the spine)
The drawing below shows the recommended dimensions and adjustments ranges for the
chair, footstool, monitor, keyboard and work surfaces to achieve good posture.

14 | P a g e

b) Control of Electrical Hazards in the office

Possible Injuries due to Electrical hazards in the office

Electric Shocks, Electric Burns, Fires or Explosions, Fatal injuries





Potential Causes of Electrical Hazards

Overloading of circuit points, contact of electrical appliances with wet hands / surfaces,
wear / surfaces, wear out of electrical equipment insulations, alterations of electrical
equipment or parts

c) Manual Handling in the Office

Common manual handling injuries include:

strains and sprains;
neck and back injury;
slips, falls and crush incidents;
cuts, bruises and broken bones;
hernia;
strained heart muscles; and
Occupational overuse syndrome (OOS), once known as RSI.



Means to Reduce Manual Handling

lighten loads (break loads into smaller quantities);
reduce bending, twisting, reaching movements;
two people to carry bigger loads; and
prevent muscle strain and fatigue. This includes warming up before working,
allocating time for rest breaks, and allowing time to gradually get used to a new job.
remove unnecessary tasks;
prevent double handling;
prevent heavy carrying;
provide rest breaks during heavy or repetitive work;
provide shelf storage for heavier objects at waist level, smaller objects on high or low
shelves; and
provide such mechanical aids as trolleys, hoists, levers, adjustable height workbenches
and seating, hooks and jacks, tools and equipment kept within easy reach.



Safety Instructions: Before Lifting

The task should be planned before work begins.
Employees should be trained in the skills required.
Employees should be told about potential hazards.
The path should be cleared to avoid bumping into or tripping over things.
Suitable protective clothing should be provided and worn.

Use ladders on hard, even-leveled surfaces.
Make sure the locks and braces are fixed and properly engaged before use.
Face the ladder when standing or climbing on it
Put up a warning sign and barrier in the area when using a ladder
Make sure you have a firm hold of the ladder. Always maintain a three-point contact
(hands and feet) with the ladder. Do not work at the top rung of a ladder.
When climbing up or down a stepladder, if possible, avoid carrying anything else as
this will prevent you from maintaining a three-point contact.
When using a ladder, do not jerk or wobble. If possible, have another person to help
hold the ladder steady when in use.
If the ladders are fixed, check regularly that the ladders are still secure for use.

Site Name

Hazards
Manual Handling Caught in between

Cut/Bruises Tripping and falling

1 References

WSH ACT
WSH (General Provisions) Regulations

2 Safety Instruction for on the use of hand tools

2.1 Utility Knife

Always use a sharp blade. Dull blade require more force and thus more likely to slip.
Replace the blade when it starts to tear instead of cut.
Never leave a utility knife unattended with blade exposed. Ensure blade is retract in their
holders when not in use;
Keep your free hand away from the line of cut. The cutting stroke shall be away from the
body
Dont blend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open can or pry loose objects.
Blade is brittle and can snap easily.
Do not wipe dirty or oily blade on clothing/ bare hand. To clean, the blade shall be wiped
with a towel or cloth with the sharp edge turned away from the wiping hand.
Horseplay of any kind (throwing, "fencing," etc.) shall be prohibited.

2.2 Screw driver

The practice of using screwdrivers as punches, wedges, pinch bars, or pry pars shall be
discouraged as this practice dulls blades and causes employee injury.
Screwdriver tips shall be selected to fit the screw. Sharp- edged bits will not slip as easily
as ones that are dull. Redress tips to original shape and keep them clean.
The object avoid be held in the hand. It should be laid on a bench or flat surface, or held in
a clamp.
low shelves; and
Screwdrivers having blades or rivets extending through the handle should never be used
for electrical work. Both blade and handle should be insulated except the tip.








32 | P a g e

2.3 Hammer

Wooden handles shall be straight grained and free of splinters. Once split, handles shall be
replaced. Make sure handles are tightly wedged.
Never strike a hammer with another hammer.
Discard any hammer that shows chips, dents, etc. Redressing is not recommended.
Safety glasses shall be worn while using a hammer or any other striking tool.
Never use a common nail hammer to strike other metal objects such as cold chisels.


2.4 Pliers & nippers

Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a larger pair of
pliers. Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts or nuts. Pliers cannot grip
these items properly and will slip.
Never use pliers as a hammer or hammer on the handles. Such abuse is likely to result in
cracks or breaks.
Cut hardened wire only with pliers designed for that purpose.
Always cut at right angles. Never rock from side to side or bend the wire back and forth
against the cutting edges.
Use only insulated nippers when working with electrical equipment;
Special cutters for heavy wire, reinforcing wire, and bolts should be used in lieu of
makeshift tools (claw hammers, pry bars);
Appropriate eye protection should be worn when using nippers to prevent injury from
flying short ends of wire.

2.5 Saws

Hacksaws shall be adjusted and tightened in the frame to prevent buckling and breaking,
but shall not be tight enough to break off the pins that support the blade. Install blade
with teeth pointing forward.
Saws must be kept sharp and the teeth kept well set to prevent binding.
Pressure shall be applied on the forward stroke only. Lift the saw slightly, pulling back
lightly in the cut to protect the teeth. Do not bend and twist the blade. Never continue an
old cut with a new blade.

2.6 Wrenches

Oversize openings will not grip the corners securely and shims should not be used to
compensate for an oversized opening. Using the wrong size wrench can round the
corners of the bolt, or cause slippage, as well as make it difficult to then apply the proper
size.
Never overload the capacity of a wrench by using a pipe extension on the handle or strike
the handle of a wrench with a hammer.



33 | P a g e

Adjustable wrenches are generally recommended for light-duty jobs or when the proper
size, fixed-opening wrench is not available. Caution must be exercised in using these
wrenches, as they are likely to slip because of the difficulty in setting the correct size and
the tendency for the jaws to "work" as the wrench is being used.
Prevent serious injuries by being careful not to allow pipe wrenches to slip on overhead
pipes or fittings causing loss of balance and falls.
