When working from home, the model
WHS laws still apply. Just as in the oce,
your workstation must be set up in a way
that is safe, comfortable and easy to use.

injury and eye strain. The length of time that
you sit in these postures also adds to the risk for
injury and health problems associated with long

What you need to do to set up a safe
workstation depends on the work you do, your
environment and your individual needs. You
have a duty to take care for your own health
and safety while working from home and must
follow any reasonable policies or directions your
employer gives you about setting up your home-
based workstation. You should also refer to any
relevant advice from the WHS regulator in your
state orterritory.
