Our home working guidance is for anyone who employs home workers, including those who split their time between their workplace and home (sometimes called hybrid working). The guidance has been redesigned and expanded to provide more detail on straightforward actions to manage home workers' health and safety. This includes the risks of working with display screen equipment (DSE) at home as well as stress and poor mental health. There is also advice for home workers themselves, as well as a video and practical tips on good posture when working with DSE. |  The assessment part of HSE's digital MSD tools are available to use free of charge. The digital versions of the Manual Handling Assessment Charts (MAC), Assessment of Repetitive Tasks (ART) and Risk Assessment of Pushing and Pulling (RAPP) tools have been designed to simplify the process of completing each assessment. They have a logical step-by-step approach and will save your assessors considerable time in populating the results manually. Employers can use these tools to easily assess the risks posed by physical, strenuous activities. The assessor can then understand, interpret, categorise, and communicate the level of risk.
