Health and Safety assessment requirements for Remote Working Employees

Are you aware that Health and Safety needs to be assessed even when your employees are working remotely?

Are your employees aware of their Health & Safety obligations?

Have you identified Health and Safety risks and put measures in place to address these?

Are you supporting the well-being of your employees and have you supports in place?

If you are answer no to any of the above you need to review and implement the Remote Working Checklist produced by the Department of Enterprise, Trade & Employment.

The checklist has been prepared to provide employers with a quick way to navigate the adoption of remote working arrangements. This checklist covers the key areas of consideration for remote working based on official guidance. Further information can be found at here and the full checklist on the Remote-Working-Checklist-for-Employers.pdf (enterprise.gov.ie)
