Working from Home Safety Training - FAQ

Working from Home Safety Training FAQs

What are the most common health risks associated with working from home?
Common risks include musculoskeletal problems from poor ergonomics, eye strain from inadequate lighting or screen positioning, mental health challenges from isolation, and increased sedentary behavior. Other risks include poor air quality, inadequate heating/cooling, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities in home networks.
How should I set up an ergonomic home office on a budget?
Focus on monitor height (using books or boxes), proper chair support (add cushions or lumbar support), and adequate lighting (position near window or add desk lamp). Ensure feet are flat on floor, wrists are neutral while typing, and take regular breaks. Many improvements can be made with household items before investing in specialized equipment.
How can I maintain work-life balance when working from home?
Establish clear boundaries by creating a dedicated workspace, setting specific work hours, and developing start/end routines. Take regular breaks, maintain social connections with colleagues, and resist the urge to work outside designated hours. Physical separation of work and living spaces helps maintain psychological boundaries.
What should I do if I experience a work-related injury at home?
Seek immediate medical attention if needed, then report the incident to your supervisor and HR department following your organization's incident reporting procedures. Document the injury, circumstances, and any contributing factors. Your employer's workers' compensation coverage typically extends to home office injuries occurring during work hours.
How often should I take breaks when working from home?
Follow the 20-20-20 rule for eye health (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds), take a 5-10 minute break every hour to stretch and move, and ensure a proper lunch break away from your workspace. Regular movement helps prevent repetitive strain injuries and maintains mental clarity.
