WHY IS THE HOME OFFICE RISK ASSESSMENT IMPORTANT?
With the help of our new software specially developed for home office risk assessment, an inspection of an employee's home workstation can be carried out in up to 10 minutes, while the related fire safety and occupational safety training can also be carried out. All this does not require personal contact, so the risk of infection caused by the Covid epidemic can also be avoided by using the software.
Home office legislation
Carrying out a risk assessment of the home office is both an occupational safety and labor law obligation on the part of employers. The labor law rules for teleworking are governed by Act I of 2012 on the Labor Code, while the labor protection rules are regulated by Act XCIII of 1993 on Occupational Safety. contained in the law.
The provisions of these two laws must be applied taking into account the peculiarities of working at home. It is the employer's responsibility to create safe and health-free working conditions even in the case of remote work (home office), so the Occupational Safety and Health Act imposes occupational safety obligations on the employer with regard to working at home. The main point of this is the work, and the risk assessment, which confirms the conditions of safe work, prior to the modification of the employment contract. (Ref.: Mvt. § 86/A. paragraph (3).)
Home office risk assessment and occupational safety
From a home office point of view, the employer must subject the work environment created by the employee to a risk assessment. After the successful audit, but even before starting to work at home, the employee must be given occupational safety training. The preparation of both the risk assessment and the educational thematic material requires the assistance of a person with an occupational safety qualification.
Our employees have decades of experience in risk assessment of the working environment of working at home, and in the preparation of occupational safety education topics. With our newly developed and tested online audit system, as well as the connected e-learning education, we quickly and efficiently meet the employer's occupational health and safety obligations related to remote working. For those of our partners who require a traditional on-site audit to check the conditions of working at home, we continue to provide the usual high-quality service throughout the country.
