Home working

Online health and safety training for University staff working at home.

The following online training is required to be completed by University staff who are working from home at any time during their working week.

Course outline

To support staff working from home, the Cardinus training package on Home Working will guide you through a number of areas you should be aware of when working at home.

This course will cover issues such as:

  • your comfort and posture whilst working
  • fire and electrical hazards
  • your wellbeing
  • risk assessment to ensure your workstation is correctly set up (as much as possible) with guidance on how to achieve a better set up if required

If you use display screen equipment at work, you should also complete the "Healthy Working" course. This will also offer you the opportunity to complete a more in depth risk assessment on your current working set-up, and receive guidance on how to improve this (if required) from "My Healthy Working Plan".

Accessing the course

The course is available for staff to enrol on People and Money.  

Users should not login to Cardinus directly, using previous links, as their training will not be recorded in P&M.

Home working: self-enrol on People and Money
