Work-from-Home Safety: Meeting OSHA Compliance Standards
Every organization must adhere to OSHA compliance requirements and should have a meaningful policy in place that clearly defines its expectations for remote employees. That policy should include responsibilities, workstation design, applicable OSHA requirements and timely reporting of work-related injuries and illnesses.
Otherwise, employees may create an environment that compromises their health and safety - as well as that of their family.

- Which injuries and illnesses that occur while working at home are OSHA recordable
- Best practices for selecting and installing the right home office equipment
