Desks, file cabinets, etc., are arranged so that drawers do not open into aisles or walkways. Desk and file drawers are closed after use. Weight is distributed in file cabinets so that upper drawer contents do not create a top-heavy condition. Cabinets, bookcases, and shelves are secured to building surfaces to prevent their falling over. Faulty desks, chairs, or other office equipment are repaired or taken out of service.
Sufficient lighting is provided in all working areas, including emergency lighting.
Paper cutter blades are in the locked position when not in use. Knife blades have guards when not in use. Shelves are not overloaded. Electric fans are protected with guards of not over inch mesh, which prevents fingers getting inside the guard. Cords and plugs are in good condition.
