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 work with at 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 in your home
office, be sure to leave it in a locked file
cabinet or
drawer. Treat sensitive
material at home just as
you would at your office.

sure that any anti-virus software is up-to-date
and that you scan your hard drive
regularly.
