Electrical & Equipment Safety for Office and Remote Workers

Electrical safety is often overlooked, but small hazards can create major risks.

Workers should inspect cords regularly — frayed or hot cables should be replaced immediately. Space heaters must be used safely and kept away from fabric or paper. Extension cords should never be used long-term.

Remote employees should avoid overloading outlets or chaining multiple power strips. Liquids should be kept away from laptops and docking stations.

Small habits prevent big problems.
