According to a recent UK survey, the office is becoming one of the most dangerous workplaces, with 1777 workers hurt by pencils and 1100 by staplers last year. 10,644 were hurt through phone misuse, 2,500 received paper cuts and 100 were even hit by falling wall-charts. Calculators surprisingly managed to injure 39 workers! (Source: METRO 2/10/00). If you are one of these statistics, maybe you would like to share your story with Stellatron!
