Tips To Make Working from Home Safer
2

• With so many more Americans working from home
  nowadays whether through choice or due to
  circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic
  keeping your workspace and your home safe from
  harm, has never been more important.
• From securing your home, to protecting valuable
  data and documents, read on to discover some top
  tips to make working from home, as safe as
  possible
• Secure outdoor working spaces properly
• If youve converted your shed or garage into an
  office space, its important that you assess the
  security on the doors and windows. Many garages
  and sheds arent made as secure as they could be,
  and if youre working inside those spaces now,
  its essential to have strong, high security
  locks, and having motion sensor security lights
  and/or cameras can help give you peace of mind,
  too.

• One other simple tip is to have drapes or blinds
  at the windows, and make sure these are always
  closed or pulled down when youre not working
  inside.
• Invest in a safe
• If youre storing confidential information
  related to your job in your new home workspace,
  then having a high security safe can help keep it
  secure at all times. From keys and documents to
  storage devices and cash, anything that is worth
  protecting, is worth storing in a safe.

• Keep a discreet routine
• Many of us are forced to follow a certain routine
  whether working away, or from home, but adjusting
  that routine from time to time can help make sure
  that anybody watching you, doesnt find it so
  easy to predict when your home might be
  vulnerable in terms of breaking and entering.
• If you regularly work from home, consider
  increasing the height of your fence so that
  others cant look over the top and in through
  your windows, or keep drapes drawn and blinds
  down if your workspace is clearly visible from
  the street.

• Consult with a residential locksmith
• With all the latest tips, gadgets and security
  devices, your local locksmith is the best person
  to advise you about safety and security if you
  perform your job from the comfort of your home.
  Ask them to visit your home and carry out a
  security inspection any recommendations they
  make for improving its security, can be carried
  out then and there.
• Repair, or improve the security, of any sliding
  patio doors
• Many homes have patio doors or doors that slide,
  and these are renowned for being weak spots in
  terms of security. These doors should in fact, be
  kept as secure as your main entranceways, and if
  any of the locks are faulty, damaged, or simply
  weak, you should have them replaced or upgraded
  at the earliest opportunity.

• Working from home can be advantageous for many,
  but dont let complacency make you fall victim to
  crime. Improve your home security wherever
  possible (and within the confines of your
  budget), to ensure that you, your home and any
  important data related to your job, are kept safe
  at all times.
