Working from home
Persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) may choose to offer their workers the option of working from home, either for all or part of their working hours. WHS laws still apply if workers work from home. PCBUs must eliminate or minimise health and safety risks to their workers as much as they reasonably can.
