Spring 2024 CORe Roundtable – Final Agenda

Greetings,

We’re excited and look forward to tomorrow’s 2024 convergence CORe Roundtable on remote worker H&S compliance risks and challenges.

If you did not receive a meeting invitation to the April 9th Roundtable but would like to participate, please info@cc-global.com

Your participation in the Roundtable indicates you will adhere to the Chatham House Rule. If you have questions about the Rule, please let us know via email before the meeting takes place.

The final agenda is:

  1. Web Meeting Logistics

  2. Participant Introductions

  3. Country H&S Requirements Table for Remote Workers

  4. Multiple Remote Worker H&S Topics: Polls and Discussion

  5. Next Steps 

The final benchmark survey questions we will be discussing and you will be answering in the live poll are:

1.         What standard or set of requirements does your company follow to manage H&S for its remote workers?

2.         How does your company define the physical boundaries of a remote worker’s workspace – and therefore where H&S requirements apply?

3.         How is your company conducting risk assessments of remote workers?

4.         How does your company communicate work practices and control measures to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and promote ergonomics for remote workers?

5.         If your company purchases furniture and/or work equipment for remote workers, who is responsible for funding it?

6.         If your company purchases furniture and/or work equipment for remote workers, what is the budget (in USD) for each remote worker?

7.         How does your company manage psychosocial impacts (e.g., stress, loneliness) for remote workers who work alone?

8.         Does your company provide fire safety training to remote workers?

9.         Does your company offer different H&S resources to flex/hybrid workers versus remote workers?

10.   If your flex workers have H&S responsibilities (e.g., first aider, fire wardens), how does the company know if it has adequate coverage at the company office in the event of an accident or fire?

See you soon!
