Home working guidance and resources
Employers have the same health and safety responsibilities for people working at home as for any other worker.
Our home working guidance provides straightforward actions to manage home workers’ health and safety.

This includes the risks of stress and poor mental health as well as working with display screen equipment (DSE).

Our website also offers:

advice for home workers
a video and practical tips on good posture when working with DSE

Health and Safety Executive:
Working Minds: are you managing the risk of work-related stress?
Work-related stress is preventable and employers have a legal duty to assess and manage it.
In 2024/25, 964,000 workers reported stress, depression, or anxiety caused or made worse by work. HSE's Management Standards give you a practical framework to tackle the main causes of stress at work.

Poor management in any of these 6 areas can harm health, reduce productivity, and increase sickness absence:

Demands - workload, work patterns, and the working environment
Control - how much say workers have in how they do their work
Support - resources and encouragement from managers and colleagues
Relationships - fostering positive working and tackling unacceptable behaviour
Role - clarity of responsibilities
Change - managing and communicating organisational change effectively

Spot risks early and take action to protect your workforce.

Our free guidance and tools can help you apply the Management Standards:

There are many types of seizures. Epilepsy, but they can be caused by heat, infection, head injure, stroke.
If you suspect a seizure, support only as much as is needed. Don’t restrict their movement. Try to time the seizure. Call an ambulance

Working in hot temperatures
With high temperatures across much of the country, employers must ensure workers are protected during hot weather.
There's no law for maximum working temperature, or when it's too hot to work, because every workplace is different.
HSE's website has a practical step guide on temperature in the workplace.
This includes guidance on:
what the law says
managing workplace temperature
preventing heat stress
protecting those working outdoors
We also provide a workplace temperature checklist to help you carry out a basic risk assessment.
View the full range of guidance by visiting HSE's temperature webpages.

First Aid
Low sugar. The only time we can feed our casualty, small carton of fruit juice, 5 jelly babies for something similar. Just enough to bring them back to normal.
