Working From Home Checklist + Training

Online compliance tool for remote workspaces.

Every home workspace is different, and so are the risks. Ensuring the safety of remote workers while protecting your business from potential claims and litigation, can be a challenging and time consuming task for employers.

AHP’s online Working From Home Checklist is the solution, combining essential information for remote workers with a comprehensive WFH checklist to simplify risk management, save you time and ensure you meet your duty of care.

Why is training so important?

Self-assessment checklists are often used to risk-assess home workspaces but, if your people haven’t been adequately informed about the hazards and risks of working from home (WFH), they may fail to identify and report potential safety issues. This increases the risk of workplace incidents and injuries, both physical and mental.

How it works

Designed for smart-phone, the WFH Checklist + Training is accessed via a secure link and completed by the worker, while in their home workspace.  The total time commitment is around 30 minutes.  During this time, the worker will: 

  • Provide information about their working from home arrangement

  • View training videos about workplace safety, ergonomics and wellbeing

  • Make adjustments to their workstation setup, as required

  • Complete the WFH Checklist

  • Take photos of their workstation and any potential hazards

  • Report any issues related to WFH

Immediately on completion, a detailed report is securely sent to both the employer and employee.

The report is easy to interpret and clearly highlights any potential safety hazards identified or wellbeing issues reported by the individual.

  • “I’ve been struggling with neck and shoulder pain when working from home. I recently got a vertical mouse and reduced-reach keyboard, after Michael recommended one during an online ergonomic assessment. I am still waiting on the laptop stand he recommended, however, I have already noticed a huge improvement in the pain I’ve been having in my neck and shoulder! My employer has also ordered me an ergonomic chair which I'm sure will also help improve my workspace. Thanks for your assessment and recommendations. “

    H.G Marketing Assistant

  • “Michael’s advice was really helpful. The best thing was the note about keeping the laptop a natural distance away so your forearms rest on the table, and to keep my mouse closer to the keyboard. It seems obvious but I didn’t realise I was doing both of those things incorrectly and feel this was contributing to my upper back pain. I’m still working on getting a better chair at home, but the tips I received to improve the setup of my current chair really helped!”

    L. C Junior Producer

  • “I did implement your advice. The seat was easy and immediately an improvement. About a day later the laptop stand you recommended arrived. Super solid and good for taller people like me so the height is correct. I bought a magic trackpad – didn’t like it so reverted to a mouse (standard wireless), which you suggested would be better for my wrist issues. I’m interested in trying the vertical mouse you recommended.”

    B.D CEO & Marketing Director

  • “Thanks so much for this very thorough assessment and taking the time to research the chair. I am very pleased to tell you there was no back pain last night so those slight changes have already made a difference. Also, my chair is pretty new and I’ve not spent too many full days in it so hoping that may be part of it too. In any case I’ve raised my laptop stand, adjusted chair and added a cushion and more conscious of arms on desk. Will see how I go with these changes first before seeing if I need another monitor.”
