Posted By Graham Sargeant I am aware the term 'place of work' gives a very broad coverage of what are to be considered as a place of work covered by legislation, but could anyone clarify for me please... a person who works from home, say for example in a converted bedroom, is that room considered to be a place of work and the same requirements applicable? Thanks in advance Graham

Posted By David Scott ACoP L24 would suggest that this converted bedroom is not a workplace or place of work, it being in a domestic property and therefore not subject to Workplaces Regs 92. However, as a home worker you are subjected to the following; If self employed; HASAW S3 Duties of self employed MHSWR Reg 3 Risk assessment, Reg 5 H&S Arrangements, Reg 8 Danger.Emergency procedures DSER as 'operator' only the following; Reg 2 risk assessment, Reg 3 requirements of a workstation, Reg 7 information. PUWER all 'to the extent of (the employers) control' EAW all for 'matters within (the employers) control Employers Liability - None but Public Liability is highly advised. If employed; Employer owes you; HASAW S2 Duties Safety Reps & safety Committee Regs - All H&S First Aid Regs - All EAW Regs - All DSER - as 'user', All MHO - All PPE - All COSHH - All RIDDOR - All H&S Consultation Regs - All PUWER - All for equipment 'provided for or used by/ employee Work Time Regs - All Employers Liability - All Probably more than you asked for but having just gone through this process with our Solicitors, I felt I should pass on this information.
