Work & Home Office Safety & Ergonomics Checklist
A safe workspace isn’t just about cables and chairs — it’s about protecting your body, focus, and peace of mind.
🪑 Desk & Chair Setup
☐ Adjust your chair so your feet rest flat on the floor
☐ Keep knees at 90°–100° and hips slightly above knee level
☐ Position your monitor at eye level — about an arm’s length away
☐ Use a backrest or cushion for lower back support
☐ Avoid sitting on the bed or sofa for long work hours
🖥 Workspace Arrangement
☐ Keep keyboard and mouse at elbow height
☐ Place frequently used items within easy reach
☐ Keep desk free from clutter for better focus
☐ Use cable ties to manage cords safely
☐ Ensure your workspace has proper lighting (avoid glare on screen)
⚡ Electrical & Fire Safety
☐ Avoid overloading power extensions
☐ Use surge protectors for laptops and monitors
☐ Keep cables away from walking paths
☐ Turn off devices after use or before leaving home
☐ Keep liquids away from electronics
🧘♂️ Health & Posture Habits
☐ Take short breaks every 30–60 minutes
☐ Stretch your neck, shoulders, and wrists regularly
☐ Blink often and follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
☐ Stand and move between meetings or tasks
☐ Drink water throughout the day to stay hydrated
🏡 Work-from-Home Safety Tips
☐ Ensure strong, stable Wi-Fi connection in a ventilated area
