Ensuring Healthy Temperature, Lighting and Ventilation when Working from Home

Lighting, temperature, humidity and ventilation are major factors when thinking about how physically comfortable you are when working from home – and it’s not just a matter of comfort, as efficiency and general good health are also dependent on getting these features of the workplace right.

This absence of immediate help or assistance creates significant risk because of the ever-present prospect of accidental injury or violence and aggression – the latter, for some occupations, being accompanied by the added risk of robbery or other crime.
