Checklist: Working Safely in Home or Remote Working Environments

Employers have duties under work health and safety legislation to take reasonable steps to minimise risks to the health and safety of workers in the workplace, including when they are working at home or other remote working environments. Employers must also consult regarding these risks and how these risks are managed.

This sample checklist forms an integral part of managing health and safety risks by supporting the employer in conducting a risk assessment to identify key risks and hazards that need to be checked in the home or remote working environment.

The checklist also facilitates consultation between the employee and employer and ensures that the employee is involved and understands the responsibilities of an employee in the ongoing identification and management of these risks.

You should consider your client’s health and safety needs and whether there are any additional factors that may be relevant for their workers. The checklist should be amended to reflect that if necessary.
