I> U.i: J»> - PLAIN DEALER - WEHNKSDAY APRIL 20. 1977 1 Conii1 to work relaxed, (lood health is a safety plus. Katigue is a frequent factor in accidents 2 Know and follow the safety rules for your job and be familiar with the operation of all machines you use 3 Watch out for the practical joker "Clowning" is a major cause of mishaps 4 Know what to do in an Keepin' Healthy by Mary Richards We all know that there are "high risk" occupations, and that most of the people who work in these kinds of jobs are very safety conscious But. did you know that more accidents happen in offices than in atomic energy plants? Many office workers d6n't think much about safety , they work in "nice, safe offices." But, it, is just as easy to trip over a file drawer as over a steel girder The Illinois Department of Public Health has some tips that may help avoid office accidents emergency Some of the most frequent causes of office accidents in­ volve improper lifting of heavy packages, carelessness when using file cabinets, poor "housekeeping" habits that can cause falls, careless storage or use of pointed and sharp ob­ jects Lifting When lifting or carrying heavy packages, remember to do it the right way I'se your arm and leg muscles, not your back This means keeping your back straight and the load close to your body Hold the object so that your fingers won't be pinched if the load should shift, have plenty of light, and be sure you can look over your load and. when putting the object down, rest one corner first so your hands won't get caught underneath. File cabinets. Avoid overloading top drawers that can bring the cabinet down . .on you. Too much weight near the front of a drawer can also cause overbalancing Close one drawer before you open another one.. this helps prevent blows on the head or tripping When closing a file drawer, do it gently and use the han­ dle fingers can.be injured if you use the U»p or sides ofihe drawer And. don't struggle with drawers or doors that are stuck that's an easy way to cause back injury or bring everything down on you Housekeeping. Most office falls are on "level ground", and could be eliminated if you: a) keep file and desk drawers closed when not in use; b) keep the floor clear of items, even as small as a pencil, which can cause someone to trip; c) avoid taking shortcuts between desks where wastebaskets. 'phone and extension cords are waiting to trip you; d > do not read while walking; e> carry beverages in covered containers or on trays to avoid spills; and wipe up wet spots on the floor; f > wear shoes with moderate heels for better footing; g> keep in mind that pant legs which are too long. heather heels and untied shoes can cause falls; and h> keep chairs four-square on the floor tilting back often results in over-balancing and falls. Sharp objects. Cuts and punctures are the most com mon office injuries. To avoid them, remember to keep sharp and pointed objects stored separately in boxes or covered containers; use every precaution when working with paper cutters; and do not test a jammed stapler by holding your thumb over the end of it! These are just a few ways you can help make your "nice safe office" job even safer.

BY COLLEEN DUDGEON This is probably the silliest question you could get but I'm about to drive myself crazy over it How can I get a certain someone to pay , attention to me0 I see him almost every day at the office but he acts like I don't even exist I know he's not married and as far as I can tell he doesn't have a steady girlfriend either 1 guess you could say I've admired this man from afar for quite a long time. I date a couple of other guys but this one in particular really interests me Do you have any suggestions?

He's not going to know you're interested until you give him that chance to know you've alive. After you've made that ef­ fort, why not give a small office party and include him on the in­ vitation list GOOD LUCK! My fiancee and I are having a big fight and he says he won't get married if I don't give in. The trouble is I want to go to law school next year and he doesn't think I can go to school and be married at the same time We've been engaged since Our sopho­ more year in college and I don't want to wait any longer. He has a good job selling insurance and my parents have agreed to pay for my education. I don't have any reservations about being abie to handle it and I think my fiancee is being Unfair So how can' I convince him that our marriage will be a successful one9 A Career Girl Dear Career Girl: If you're looking at it from a practical point of view, law school and adjusting to a marriage will take its toll on anybody However, there's no reason why both of you can't learn to give in to the others' schedules Perhaps you might consider going to law school on a part time basis for the first semester or so. Then your husband can agree to changing his schedule to fit yours and you can return on a full time ar­ rangement. Plenty of couples have this situation. It will work if you love each other enough to want to.
