Home Working Health & Safety Interactive

First Health & Safety’s home worker course will provide your staff with the up-to-date knowledge on hazards faced by homeworkers and current legislation, reducing potential for injury. It covers a range of essential safety topics such as the environment and working in the home.

Our home worker e-learning course will help employers and employees who work at home spot work related hazards and give them the knowledge with dealing with them in the correct way. Each year there are a number of accidents that relate to home working including the workers family and visitors.
