Safe Work Australia (SWA) has published new resources on managing work health and safety (WSH) risks when workers are doing computer-based work from home. It is noted that WHS laws apply when workers are working from home, in the same way they do in offices and other workplaces/worksites. However, working from home could either change WSH risks or create new WHS risks.
The resources include
- Overview and definitions
- WHS duties
- Workers’ compensation requirements
- Additional resources/links for various information/information sheets
