Frequently Asked Questions

Question: If an employee voluntarily takes work home and is injured while working at home, is the case recordable?

Answer: No. Injuries and illnesses occurring in the home environment are only considered work-related if the employee is being paid or compensated for working at home and the injury or illness is directly related to the performance of the work rather than to the general home environment.
