Your Legal Responsibilities
“Employers are required to protect the health, safety and welfare of homeworkers who are employees. If you employ homeworkers you should carry out a risk assessment of the work activities and take appropriate measures to reduce any associated risks.”
– The HSE
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005
This legislation requires employers to train all employees on fire awareness. It is recommended that staff complete training each year, to ensure that they are fully equipped to act safely in case of an emergency and to show commitment to legislation.
The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations of 1992
All employers have the responsibility to provide risk assessments and provide adequate information and training for people using display equipment workstations. They must also provide employees with information about the health and safety rules relating to their workstations.
The GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation derives from the EU Data Protection Directive. Breaches must now also be reported in 72-hours, and personal data has been redefined.
Frequently asked questions
-
As an employer, you have the same health and safety responsibilities for people working at home as for any other worker.
-
You must make sure your risk assessment covers home workers. It is important to keep a balanced and proportionate approach for home workers. In most cases, you do not need to visit them to ensure their health and safety, but you should make sure they have a healthy and safe environment to work in.
-
People who are deprived of social contact through work can feel isolated or disconnected, bringing on pressure and stress or aggravating pre-existing mental health problems. There are many things you can do to protect staff wellbeing, such as talking to them to understand their feelings and acting on them, making sure that staff have a good work/life balance, provide MHFA support or Mental Health and wellbeing training.
-
You must protect your workers from health and safety risks from working on a computer or laptop (display screen equipment or DSE) at home. They can complete a self-assessment provided they have been given suitable training. Where workers use DSE in the home and office, your assessments should cover both situations.
