There are many advantages to working remotely but, it’s important to remember safety and security when your home office becomes your full-time workplace. You may not realize it, but there are quite a few risks that come with working from home. It’s a good idea to have some home office safety and security tips in your back pocket.
Due to the added electrical equipment in your home, the risk for fire and electrical hazards increases when you become a remote worker. Thankfully, there are preventative measures that address each one. Here are a few common home office safety hazards and some simple solutions:
Accidents happen, so make sure to install a smoke and heat sensor and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. These are two of the most important fire safety devices you should have in your home office.
Air quality in the workplace is extremely important. Poor air quality can lead to health issues or even death in the case of a gas leak. Here are some tips on how to improve and monitor the air quality in your home office:
If you’re working remotely and your child is home too, it’s hard to avoid frequently leaving your desk to check up on them, even if they’re old enough to take care of themselves or you’ve hired supervision.
The best way to monitor your child without disturbing your work is with an indoor camera. You can feel at ease that they’re not in trouble without your knowledge and continue to focus on your tasks, uninterrupted.
If there are child safety hazards present in your home office, you can install a camera there as well. The Frontpoint Indoor Camera allows you to set up motion-triggered recording so you’re notified on your smartphone whenever someone enters without your supervision.
Becoming a remote worker means you now have more valuable equipment and data present in your home, which is more vulnerable to a break-in than a corporate office. The good news? When you increase the security of your home office, you increase the protection of your entire house!
There are a few basic security products every homeowner should install, especially as a remote worker. If you want to make things even easier for yourself, purchase a smart home security system that can be controlled and monitored all in one place with your smartphone. Here are a few of Frontpoint’s smart security products that all work seamlessly with the Frontpoint mobile app:
