My most recent revelation about home office safety was a crash course in “ergonomics” after I found my computer’s screen height was too low and it was hurting my back.
But there are other occupational safety issues involved that work at home business people should consider. How do you measure up based on these questions?
From the Virtual Assistant Blog
- Do you have leads running across the floor or showing at the back of a desk that is out in the open?
- Do you have young children or pets that could get caught up in the leads or accidentally pull them?
- Do you have clients come into your home office periodically?
- What is lying around or sticking out that might be a hazard to guests in your home?
- Are your filing cabinets secure or do the drawers pop out because of uneven flooring or overfilling of the drawers?
