For office workers at Northstar
Northstar is a fictional sample company. This page offers general office safety reminders; it does not replace posted instructions or site-specific procedures.
For the current fire, first aid, ergonomics, and security procedures that apply to your office, open the Safety Hub app. Check its location-specific emergency contacts and escalation instructions before you need them. In an urgent situation, follow the instructions posted at your site and contact local emergency services as directed by those instructions.
