Establishing a ‘work-from-home’ framework

Establishing a working from home framework.

Depending on the nature of the business and work-specific requirements, employers may consider recommending employees work from home instead of attending their usual place of work. E.g. some office-based employees may be able to do their work from home.

This may help minimise the risk of individual employees’ exposure to COVID-19 as there is less opportunity to come into contact with infection hazards – there’s fewer people travelling on public transport, and a reduced risk of transmission occurring at the workplace through face to face contact.
