Our organisation accepts that it has responsibilities for individuals who work from home. We currently have 12 permanently homebased employees, working out of various locations throughout GB. All these employees have completed self assessments and these have been evaulated by their line managers.
We are now considering allowing additional numbers to work from home, rather than having to commute, if they so wish and if their jobs allow this. The work would involve the use of computer equipment - ie desk based
My question is - to what degree would we, the employer, be responsible -
eg:
Would a separate risk assessment be required for each home worker?
Could we ask each individual to complete his/her own assessment (as we do with the permamently home based employees)?
Would be be obliged to provide desks/chairs etc in addition to IT equipment?
etc
I would appreciate the assistance of anyone who has to deal with this kind of issue
