Office Equipment

5.4.1 Electrical Safety Systems The requirements listed below relate to the type, installation and use of electrical systems and equipment. • Electrical equipment shall be of a type approved by a recognised authority and meet national and international standards • Electrical supplies and equipment shall be protected and fitted with suitable electrical breaker in case of excess current • No bare, damaged wire connections is allowed • Installation, maintenance, repair and removal of hard-wired electrical equipment shall only be carried out by appointed persons in accordance with the requirements of HSE Standard. • Work on electrical systems and equipment which requires isolation of circuits or individual items of equipment shall only be carried out by appointed persons and for potential hazard activity PtW should apply. • Switch rooms and cable duct access ways shall be clearly identified and entry restricted to appointed persons.

5.4.2 Visual Display Units (VDUs) Due to the number of personnel using Visual Display Units (VDU) (computer workstations, laptops, display terminals) and the known hazards associated with overuse, it is essential to provide a framework for risk reduction. Possible hazards/risks associated with use of VDU equipment, if uncontrolled, may give rise to adverse health impacts such as repetitive strain injury (RSI), back pain, eye strain and psychosocial stress. VDUs are commonplace in most offices and although some anxiety exists about the emission of radiation as a health hazard, research has shown that VDU radiation is negligible and concluded that symptoms described by

users are the result of fatigue. Application of the ergonomic parameters listed below will minimise fatigue and reduce the health risk from bad body posture. Fore more clarity a pictorial ergonomic risk reduction for computer working station is mentioned in Appendix 2. • Adjust the height of the work surface or chair to give adequate thigh clearance under the work surface. • Position the keyboard so that the user's forearms are approximately horizontal with an angle of 70-90o at the elbows. • Position the screen centrally at right angles to the line of sight so that the user's eyes are looking down at an angle of 15-20o. VDUs with tilt and rotate features facilitate correct positioning. • Position the screen at a distance of 40-70cm from the user's eyes. •

Place documents in an easy-to-read position.

• Use a height adjustable, swivelling chair with an adjustable backrest; chairs without armrests are recommended for full-time VDU users. • Ensure adequate indirect lighting levels (300-500 lux) at the work station. The optimum relationship between VDU and user is illustrated below;

Note: All the electronic devices, VDU must be marked “CE” and declaration of EC conformity is mandatory.

5.4.3

Photocopiers, Laser printers and other office copying equipment

Risk Control •

Buy a photocopier or laser printer with low ozone emission specifications and/or fitted with an activated carbon filter.

•

Locate the photocopier or laser printer in a well ventilated area (an enclosed room may need mechanical ventilation).

•

Allow space around the machine for good airflow

•

Follow manufacturers' operating instructions.

•

Regularly maintain the photocopier, laser printer and filter.

•

Replace carbon filters regularly, as indicated by the manufacturer's specifications.

Toner: Toner, which may contain powdered carbon black, can be spilt during maintenance or refilling the drum. Short term exposure to high dust levels can cause coughing and sneezing. Risk Control

•

Use containerised toner systems and automatic shut-down devices on waste toner compartments.

•

Use in a well ventilated area.

•

Use Nitrile/Vinyl gloves and Dust Mask (FFP1) during toner replacement activities.

Bright light: The very bright light produced by photocopiers may cause eye irritation if viewed directly. The intermittent light may disturb people working nearby. Risk Control •

The glass on a photocopier removes harmful UV emissions.

•

The document cover shields operators from the intense light produced by photocopiers-use the cover at all times.

•

Situate the photocopier away from other workstations as far as practicable, to minimise disturbance.

Heat and noise: Heat and noise generated by photocopiers can cause operator discomfort and may be a nuisance to nearby workers. Burns from hot components may occur during operations such as clearing paper jams or miss-feeds. Risk Control •

Locate photocopiers in a well ventilated room away from other work areas.

•

Switch off copier and allow components to stand for a few minutes to cool before attempting to remove paper.

•

Use non-metal tongs to remove paper and ensure machine is switched off.

Solvent Vapours: High concentrations of solvent vapours from some specialized equipment such as diazo printers may cause nausea, headaches or poor concentration, particularly in poorly ventilated rooms. Irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract can also result from exposure. Contact dermatitis may occur when handling chemically treated papers or some wet-process chemicals.

Doc. no. WI-SCNL-HSE-053-E Saipem Contracting Nigeria Ltd. WORK INSTRUCTION Rev. 01

OFFICE SAFETY Page 10 of 21

Risk Control •

Select the safest printer for the task

•

Locate printer in a well ventilated room with a filtered air exhaust system and if necessary, provide mechanical exhaust ventilation.

•

Obtain a material safety data sheet (MSDS) from your supplier for information about handling, storage and toxicity of chemicals used.

•

Wear suitable gloves and liquid/aerosol mask protection (refer to MSDS) to avoid chemical contact with skin when handling chemically treated papers or wet-process chemicals and to avoid to breath toxic vapours.

Very small particles: Some laser printers emit very small particles. Further work is required to establish the nature of these particles, which will also help determine any risks to health. Risk Control •

Locate printers in well ventilated areas away from workstations, as far as practicable.

•

Consider available emissions data when choosing new printers.

Physical Discomfort and Strains: Long periods of photocopying or collating in badly designed work area can cause physical discomfort and strain. Risk Control: •

Position photocopiers and collation tables at a comfortable height.

•

Alternate repetitive jobs with other duties.

•

Store boxes of photocopy/printing paper between knee and shoulder height to make lifting and carrying easier.

Checklist for the safe use of office copying machines

•

Equipment should be installed in an adequately ventilated area to facilitate safe removal of any dusts, gases or vapours.

•

If installed in an enclosed room, mechanical ventilation may be required

•

There should be adequate space around copiers to allow for good airflow and to facilitate maintenance.

•

Equipment should be regularly maintained.

•

The working surface of the copier should be at a comfortable height for the operator.

•

Where necessary, a collating table at a comfortable working height should be provided.

•

For any chemicals used, MSDS should be readily available.

Furniture

Chairs Shall be designed and constructed for optimum comfort and posture, and should have adjustable back support. In essence, as a result of regular use of VDU’s the chairs must have height & backrest adjustable features. . Each leg of the chair must have an appropriate caster for the type of flooring at the workstation. The below table suggests the best height settings in function of the operator height. Chair height is the distance from the floor to the upper part of the surface of the chair. The operator should be able to put his feet on the floor, sit upright with .good back support low to the operator to adjust it to his body so he can sit comfortably for long periods of time; the chair should have a strong, five-legged base in order to guarantee stability. The picture below shows an example of a chair suitable for VDT operators. Operator Height
