Health and Safety
Swiftwork can provide Health and Safety audits, compliance policy reviews and training for mangers and employees in personal safety.
Health and Safety is a growing issue for organisations that employ homeworkers and remote workers.
An employer has a duty to protect, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of its employees whether working on the employer's premises, at home or elsewhere.
The hazards that apply to home or remote workers are the same as those that apply to conventional office work, such as dangerous electric wiring, tripping on equipment, poor posture or lighting.
Personal Health and Safety is an additional issue for lone workers, care-workers for example, who are required to visit people in their homes. Special training programmes may be required to ensure they are aware of potential risks and equipped to avoid them.
