Many companies will employ staff who spend at least part of their time working from home within their own home environment.  With this in mind employers need to remember that they still have health and safety responsibilities for these staff, even when they are working within their own home environment.

Our Home Workers course specifically tackles the potential risks and issues associated with working from home and will provide your staff with information on the potential hazards faced by homeworkers, current legislation and ways of reducing the potential for injury. The course covers a range of essential safety topics such as the environment and working in the home.

Our online home workers training course will help employers and employees who work at home to identify work related hazards and give them the knowledge and information needed to deal with them. Every year accidents relating to home workers working in their own home environment happen and these often include other members of their family, as well as friends and visitors. Factors such as the presence of children or pets can turn a small risk into a major one and it’s vital that employers and employees work together to minimise these risks.
