Improper storage may make shelves and filing cabinets unstable and consequently fall. Also, leaving objects on the corner of desks, tables, cabinets, etc. make it easier for objects to fall. Watch Your Step Striking against objects typically occurs when a person is not paying attention. Bumping into objects such as closed doors, doorframes, desks, filing cabinets, and other protruding objects may easily occur and cause injuries.
People also strike objects when bending to file.
