Overview

Health & Safety for Homeworkers

Learning about health and safety for homeworkers is essential for employers of current or potential homeworkers, as well as anybody who works from a home environment.

Working from home is becoming an increasingly popular option, but health and safety are often overlooked, which could result in practical and legal problems for the employer and employee.

This course covers everything you need to know about health and safety for homeworkers, including a detailed checklist of all the factors to consider and the stringent requirements under UK law.

We discuss the importance of risk assessment and provide a step-by-step guide to developing a risk assessment strategy for homeworkers in any industry or company type.

Most importantly, you will learn how to create a complete homeworker health and safety policy, which ensures that homeworkers are safe, healthy and that you are compliant with UK law.

This is the ultimate resource to ensure the health and safety of homeworkers.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
