Description
Remote Health & Safety: Working Safely focuses on maintaining safe and sustainable working practices while working from home.
In the office, safe working practices are encouraged by the purpose-built environment, organizational policies and direct supervision.
When you're working from home, however, you may need to take extra steps to make sure your working practices are safe and sustainable.
This process begins with good communication. Discuss with your employer which tasks can and can’t safely be done at home, and talk about the support you’ll need.
In this course, we’ll cover key areas to ensure your home workspace is safe and supportive, including self-monitoring for wellbeing, using a computer safely, home security, and being prepared for emergencies.
By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge to maintain safe working practices and address any health and safety concerns that arise while working remotely.
