Following recent Government guidance, many Employers are now asking their Employees to carry out home working where this is possible.
Employers still maintain legal responsibility for the health and safety of their Employees whilst working at home. Some are asking what practical steps they need to take to ensure that legal obligations are achieved and maintained. This is most likely to be a temporary situation and the HSE have provided some basic guidance of points to consider along with a short video on setting up their workstation when making use of display screen equipment. The information can be found at the the following link:
