I would be grateful for any advice on the following.
Am I right in assuming that a home worker is defined as anyone who is employed to work from home rather than someone who choses to work from home occasionally?
Is there any stipulation on the number of hours you have to work before you can be defined as a home worker (e.g part time workers)

Lorraine - The HSE's IND(G)226(L)although old (1996) defines homeworkers as "Those people employed to work at home for an employer" As such hours do not come into it.The risk assessment requirements of legislation remain the same but must include members of the household including children and visitors.

I would avoid definitions like this - if someone does significant work at home then apply the appropriate controls.

If the persons normal place of work where they report for work, is at the 'home' rather than at the company office then a 'home worker', doesnt everyone do occasionaly work at home but not necessarilly be a 'home worker'.
