Risk Assessment For The Home Office

Abstract

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many employers and employees to redefine our work environment. Prior to the pandemic, for most of us, our weekly Monday through Friday working routine was spent in the office or in the field environment. Now, and in the future, many will continue to work from home. Conducting a ‘Risk Assessment’ of our residence has become even more relevant. This paper takes a comprehensive look at residential electrical hazards including circuit breakers, receptacles, grounding, lighting and light levels.
