Working from Home Awareness
A practical awareness course for people who work from home some or all of the time, and for the managers who set those arrangements. It covers the WHS and OHS duties that continue when work is done at a private home, a usable home workstation and environment, staying reachable in an emergency, psychosocial risks of home and hybrid work and the checklists, reporting and privacy habits that keep the arrangement under review. It is the integrated working-from-home path. It does not replace the fuller Office Ergonomics, Working Alone or Psychosocial Hazards courses.
Also relevant for: Office and Professional
What You Will Learn
- Explain that WHS or OHS duties apply to work done at home, including the PCBU or employer duty and the worker duty, and that consultation covers physical and psychological health
- Set up a basic home workstation and environment, and recognise when to request equipment or a review
- Describe practical steps to stay reachable and ready for an emergency at a home work area
- Identify common psychosocial risks of home and hybrid work, including remote or isolated work, and explain why work design comes before an employee assistance program
- Use a home WHS checklist, report discomfort and hazards early, and review the arrangement when hybrid patterns change, while limiting intrusion into the home
Course Content
Final Assessment: 10 questions, 80% pass mark, retakes available
