If an employee works at home, the DSE Regulations do apply and a home workstation is subject to the same requirements as that of an office employee. The risks associated with computer use apply whether an employee is based in the office or at home and therefore a workstation assessment should be carried out.
Full-time and permanent homeworking is also covered under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (Management Regulations), where the employer is required to carry out an assessment of the hazards to which homeworkers are exposed. Click here for HSE Guidance
It is also important homeworkers are trained on how to minimise their risk and both our onsite and online assessment options provide training for posture and workstation set up.
