Working from Home Pack

Homeworking is becoming increasingly popular with advances in technology making it easier for employees to work remotely and flexibly. But, as an employer, how can you ensure that your workers are productive and safe when they are working from home?

Health and Safety legislation requires employers to make sure they do everything they can to keep their employees safe whilst at work, this includes those that work from home.
Furthermore, employees are still expected to comply with workplace policies and procedures even when they are working remotely.

In order to have a successful homeworking system in place, you must ensure that your guidelines are clearly communicated with workers, that you have fully trained them in all aspects of health and safety when it comes to homeworking and that you have assessed any potential risks.

Homeworking Risk Assessment Template

Before allowing employees to work from home, you should conduct a risk assessment to ensure that it is safe for them to do so.
We have created a thorough Homeworking Risk Assessment Template that includes everything you need to assess, as required by legislation, and makes it quick and easy to identify any potential risks and precautions that can be put in place to prevent or reduce these risks.

DSE Online Training Course

Display Screen Equipment is a health hazard if not correctly assessed and monitored and when in a communal workplace this would normally be completed by a manager or IT expert.
However, homeworkers will need to set up and assess their DSE and workstation themselves; hence, this online training course will provide them with all the information they need to do so correctly.

Homeworking Online Training Course

This RoSPA approved online training course is ideal for remote workers and the managers who oversee them as it covers eligibility criteria, supply of equipment, security of data, potential hazards in the home, and much more.
This course will provide everyone with clear procedures and a full understanding of homeworking arrangements which can be easily applied to any business.
