Misuse of office tools, such as pens, pencils, paper, letter openers,
scissors, and staplers, can cause cuts, punctures, and related infections. Injuries can be
prevented by following precautions when using these materials:
- Paper cutters - Keep blade closed when not in use. A guard should be provided and
fingers should be kept clear
- Staplers - Always use a staple remover. Never test a jammed stapler with your thumb
- Pencils, pens, scissors, etc. - Store sharp objects in a drawer or with the point down.
Never hand someone a sharp object point first.
