Just as it is in your office, you will want to make
sure that your home office is a safe place to work. You will also want
to make sure that any data you take home is secure. Here are some tips
on safety and security.
Click
on the box in front of the inaccurate tip and then click on the answer
button to see if you chose correctly.
A Do
a monthly “safety check” around your home office. Are you
overloading electrical outlets?
Placing equipment where
it could get knocked over? Are your smoke alarms and fire
extinguisher in good
working order?
B Consider
installing a home security system to guarantee the safety of your office equipment.
C If
you have sensitive material that you will be leaving in your home
office, be sure to leave
it in a locked file
cabinet or drawer. Treat sensitive company material at home just as
you would at your
office.
D Make
sure that any virus software that you are using at home is up-to-date
and that you
scan your hard drive
and any diskettes before each telecommuting day.
