Your Home Workspace

Many of us have spent more than a week working from home.  We are settling into our new digs and our new work situation.  Here are a few important health and safety reminders:

• Ergonomics
  • The point of ergonomics is to design the work to fit the worker in order to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury.
  • As you continue to adjust your workspace to your liking, remember these guidelines for an ergonomic workstation.    
• Safety
  • Even in low risk environments such as home offices, there are hazards:
    • Be on the lookout for hazards
    • Deal with them before they result in an unsafe event
    • Follow safe work practices (regardless of where we are working)
    • Remember, our regular incident reporting process is the same when working from home - report all incidents!
  • Here are some handy guidelines for working safely in a home office

Let's continue to work safely!
