Work-from-Home Safety: Meeting OSHA Compliance Standards

On-Demand Recording

Are you responsible for the safety of your remote employees? What if they get injured, or sick, while working from home? With so many employees working off-site, employers are left trying to figure out how liable they are for worker safety.

Every organization must adhere to OSHA compliance requirements and should have a meaningful policy in place that clearly defines its expectations for remote employees. That policy should include responsibilities, workstation design, applicable OSHA requirements and timely reporting of work-related injuries and illnesses.

Otherwise, employees may create an environment that compromises their health and safety - as well as that of their family.
