Suitable for:
- Employees who are required to work from home
- Employees who are new to working from home, or require suitable set up or equipment
- Employees experiencing physical discomfort while working from home
A WHS assessment can be beneficial to meet duty of care obligations under the WHS Act if WHS items in the employee’s home have not yet been assessed and addressed.
