About this work

Description

"Our offices are daily becoming more and more dangerous places to work as new technology transforms them. The Office Workers' Survival Handbook takes a long, hard look at these dangers and what we can do about them. All the information is here: which chemicals you'll find in which photocopier, which are dangerous, which are not; how to find out if the lighting or noise level in your office is above the officially dangerous level; What the agreed working limits are for the new VDU screens, and much more. A hard hitting book, as befits a long overdue took at the world's commonest but most ignored workplace It's a book for every office worker's top drawer, next to the typewriter correction fluid in which, by the way, lurk yet more dangers. Most office workers are women and have specific problems, including sexual harassinent at work. This book describes how women are fighting back."--Provided by publisher.
