As much of the country and the world has switched to home working out of necessity due to restrictions caused by the virus, there have been certain oversights when it comes to safety while working from home.

In the office, there are certain British Standards for office equipment that must be followed, however, in the home office this is not required, despite similar equipment being used. For example, recent stats Electrical Safety First show that 67% of people are using extension cables while working from home that has been bought on the high street. These particular extension cables do not follow the same standards as the ones used in the office.



Other stats from the study:

• 44% of people daisy chain sockets
• 38% of people have more devices plugged in than when in the office
• 33% of people aren’t aware of the risks of overloading sockets
  

So, how can we help?

Whether working from the office or from home, it is important to keep your staff safe. By installing a working from home (WFH) kit you can ensure compliance to British Standard BS6396 no matter where you work. We particularly like the OE Electrics WFH ranges that comply with safety standards set in the office.
