The Home Safety Council outlines several useful tips for keeping your
home office and workplace a safe environment.
- Keep your home office off limits to children
unless supervised
-
Install all home office equipment so it is out of children's
reach.Place desktop equipment away from
the edges of tables and desks so children cannot reach it.
-
Be aware that shredders, paper cutters, paper hole
punchers, electrical pencil sharpeners, and other home office equipment can be
tempting for children. These should be
placed well out of children's sight and reach.
-
If your workspace is in its own room, install a
smoke alarm and test it regularly.
- Thumb tacks, paper clips and other small objects
are chocking hazards.Keep these where
young children cannot see or reach them.
-
Keep power strips and electrial cords out of
walkways and out of children's reach.
-
Keep emergency numbers posted by the telephone
