 If you have employees working from home on a permanent or regular semi-permanent basis, you need to make proper provisions ensuring that you comply with health and safety legislation for home working. In fact, all of the legislation covering full-time office workers also extends to those working from home.
Complying with the legislation doesn't take a lot of time or effort, but it is crucial. A wide range of legislation applies to home workers including (but not limited to) fire safety, manual handling of loads, first aid, accident reporting and use of electrical equipment.
Absolute Health and Safety Solutions Ltd have developed and implemented home working assessment programs for various sized companies. We can help employers identify risks, record data and minimise problem areas. The best practice approach to home working starts with identifying the areas of risk and putting processes in place to deal with them systematically.
