Don’t Get Pushy Around Doorways
Think of all the potential hazards in a workplace and doorways won’t be near the top of your list. But they deserve more respect than they get.
Caught up in their own thoughts, workers will throw doors open and be shocked to find someone moving toward them from the other side. While these encounters cause surprise more frequently than injuries, there is always the potential for serious collisions, especially if hazardous objects are being carried.
Under ideal circumstances, every door in a workplace would have a window to ensure that people approaching from either side would see one another. However, for reasons of privacy and security, some doors need to be windowless. That reality demands that workers be extra-careful when approaching solid doors.
