Second reply - first got lost as I had obviously left it too long and was unlogged - I should learn! Do replies in Word first!!!

Nobody can be obliged to use their own kit for work unless it is in the contract.

There are 3 categories of this kind of ‘work from home’ involving PCs etc.

1) Casual, occasional, and usually at behest of, and for, convenience of employee, who may volunteer to use their own kit to facilitate the arrangement.

2) Occasional, but more structured arrangements, where employer either provides laptop or similar, but employee uses own facilities.

3) Contractual WFH, where employee agrees that workplace will be their home, but employer will be expected to provided equipment. And assure that safe work practices and environment achieved sfairp.

Determining these is not a H&S matter, but inevitably H&S gets drawn in on basis of various DSE et al. It helps all round if the above categories are defined, via HR or management, as only (3) really requires H&S input.

Can offer more on how dealt this if interested.
