National Health & Safety Consultants
Wherever possible you should look to ensure staff can work safely and effectively from home to help reduce the transmission of COVID-19.
Where this is possible, a Homeworking Risk Assessment should be performed and appropriate training provided.
Regardless of where an employee works, the employer still has a responsibility to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees, as far as is reasonably practicable. It is essential that employers train their homeworkers on how to recognise the possible risks when working at home including manual handling, DSE, slips trips and falls, and fire hazards. This online training course is for people who work at home, some, or all of the time. It is designed to teach the user their responsibilities when it comes to employees working at home, and best practice for safe working from their home.
Safety for Work can produce a “Covid Compliance” package to assist businesses in these unprecedented times and to help you work towards best practice with the social distancing measures and other advice from the government.
