Hi there
I am interested to know what other people have in terms of procedures and guidance and risk assessments specific to homeworking.
We have some simple guidance but then it turns into stating that we will supply fire extinguishers etc and becomes unmanagable in places and there is also a grey area in where our responsbilities lie and where the employees starts.
I have a copy of the HSE guidance to homeworking but am looking to see how others have actually applied it. I have not had to work with homeworkers previously and so would welcome any help or advice as to how others handle this situation.
Thanks

This topic was discussed quite recently so you might like to do a search of the forums. For casual homeworkers there would be little that needs to be done, presuming they are using their own equipment ie personal computer. That said, if homeworkers are using other equipment such as sewing machines, then more effort would be needed to ensure suitable risk assessments are in place, possibly equipment tested/maintained and so on. If the latter then the HSE homeworking guidance you referred to will cover your needs. It is in my opinion OTT for most casual homeworking staff.
