Working from Home

As remote and hybrid working becomes standard in Australian businesses, the question of electrical safety compliance for home-based workers has become increasingly important.

Under WHS legislation, employers retain a duty of care for workers working from home — and electrical equipment used for work purposes in a home environment should be considered for inspection and testing. ATS provides guidance and testing services to help businesses manage their electrical safety obligations for work-from-home employees.

Regardless of how often your employees work from home, the employer has a responsibility to do everything reasonable practical ensure their home workplace is safe as it is deemed part of the workplace for WHS purposes.

ATS are happy to work with you to visit your employees in their own homes to complete an electrical safety assessment and then conduct the appropriate testing. 

ATS can also help you identify areas of improvement so you can satisfy your WHS obligations.  ATS provide a national service with over 20 years experience and local qualified ATS technicians in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, ACT and NT .

ATS “Working from Home” compliance services include:

• Test and tag of workplace equipment 
• Testing RCD (Safety Switch) testing and installation (if required) 
• Fire extinguisher supply, inspection and testing

Safe Work Australia Resources

Work health and safety (WHS) laws apply when workers work from home just as they do in traditional workplaces such as offices. This means a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must ensure the health and safety of their workers, so far as is reasonably practicable, when working from home.
