One of the best discussions of office safety and ergonomics is found on the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) website.

Electrical equipment may also present hazards. CCOHS provides useful information on this topic.

Indoor Air Quality is another concern, which arises from time to time. The steps needed to resolve IAQ problems at Western are found here.
