Workplace Health & Safety considerations when Working from Home

Now, numerous people are now working from home, and we are unsure for how long this might be.

Here are Four WH&S considerations for team members working from home:

1. A First Aid Kit
   Having an appropriate first aid kit on hand is a requirement.The number of people needing to be covered will likely be low, so a small kit will normally be ok.

   If home is beyond one hour from medical facility then a more comprehensive kit is needed.

2. A Fire Extinguisher and Fire Blanket 

   Many homes don’t have a fire extinguisher and workplaces are required to have one.

3. Smoke Alarms 

   Make sure fire alarms are installed and checked that they are working properly.

4. An Ergonomic Workstation 

   Many workplace injuries are due to poor seating and posture. Keep this in mind when working from home.

First Aid Kits Australia has created a specific low-cost Work From Home First Aid Kit.
