Avoid Hazards In Your Perth Home Office

Whether you are working in a commercial office or you work remotely from your home, you need to be comfortable and safe in your working environment.

For those of you who work in any office, there are some very simple steps to take to make sure that you are in a comfortable and hazard free work space.

Potential Health Hazards In The Home Office

There are some very obvious potential risks when working in an office for lengthy periods of time including:

• Sedentary office work often involves long periods of sitting down which can pose problems with incorrect posture will have adverse effects on the spine
• Poor ventilation can cause Sick Building Syndrome which has symptoms including, irritation of eyes, nose and throat, headaches, fatigue, and a susceptibility to colds and flu
• Poor lighting is another health hazard which is often unnoticed. Good lighting is essential for maximum comfort and productivity. “Good” lighting means providing enough illumination so that people can read printed, handwritten or displayed documents clearly without being blinded by excessively high light levels (a cause of glare)
• Untidy offices that have boxes of materials or piles on the floor creating a trip hazard, therefore every office needs to have sufficient office storage furniture for files, stationary and documents
• Extension cords laying across the floor are a very real health hazard and therefore caution is needed when choosing a safe office layout. Power outlets need to be in an area close to where the electronic items are located
